Nancy Hughes Miller Art: May 2012

about Nancy

A graduate of NC State’s College of Design, Nancy was a graphic designer for many years before becoming a full time artist in 2007. A native of North Carolina, living in Cary, she grew up in Tabor City, a small town near the beaches of both North and South Carolina. Her favorite is Sunset Beach, NC and it is a big influence on her art; she enjoys spending time there — savoring its less-than-compromised environment. Her love of this place and empathy for its fragile beauty inspire Nancy to paint. Featured in her oil paintings are places where ongoing human development threatens — rare, unspoiled vistas of deserted beaches, tranquil marshes, colorful seas and vast skies. Working from her imagination and memory, Nancy explores color and light, shapes, forms and movement to create a contemporary landscape in her unique style. And though derived from familiar places, her 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.
