Nancy Hughes Miller Art: June 2010

A graphic designer and graduate of NC State's School of Design, Nancy switched gears in 2007 to live a dream and become a full time artist. A native of North Carolina, she lives near Raleigh in Cary and paints in her home studio. Growing up in a small town near the beaches of North and South Carolina, Nancy developed a love for the coast. One of her favorite places from childhood and now is Sunset Beach, NC — it's a big influence on her art. The fragile beauty of the area inspires Nancy, especially scenes devoid of human activity and disruption — deserted beaches, tranquil marshes, colorful seas — vistas connected to the sky. Her subjects also include inland lakes and rural fields, views seen from her drives to the coast. From observation, memory and imagination, she explores color and light, shapes and forms — while creating a contemporary landscape in her unique style. And though derived from familiar places, Nancy's oil paintings are not of a specific location but an impression of everyday nature — where the colors of sky, earth and water converge on the horizon.

Inspired by beauty in the landscape, I seek to capture a bold yet quiet impression of everyday nature — as the colors of sky, earth and water converge on the horizon.
