Marsh paintings at Little Art Gallery, Cameron Village, Raleigh, NC
Morning Marsh Light oil on canvas 12x36
Marsh Clouds, Purple Sky oil on canvas 12x36
I enjoy the wide format canvas because it lends itself to landscape perfectly. I believe the horizontal vastness mimics the eye as it scans the horizon to take in nature's awesome everyday beauty. These two are currently available at The Little Art Gallery, Cameron Village, Raleigh, NC.

Growing up in a small town near the beaches of North and South Carolina, Nancy Hughes Miller developed a love for the coast. One of her favorite places from childhood and now is Sunset Beach, NC — and 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.
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.

The Landscape and Feelings: Luminism
"What a landscape painter wants to render is not the natural landscape, but the state of feeling which the landscape produces in himself."
Morning Beach 48x30 2016 available on UGallery.com
Luminism is an American landscape painting style of the 1850s – 1870s, characterized by effects of light on the landscape, an aerial perspective and a smooth surface concealing brushstrokes. Luminist landscapes emphasize tranquility and often depict calm, reflective water and a soft, hazy sky — offering a ‘poetic experience of nature’ or ‘a contemplative perception of nature’.

Marsh Paintings
I have a love for my native North Carolina's barrier islands— but not just for their sandy beaches. Relaxing and soothing to view are their tidal, salt marshes—vast wetlands, separating the islands from the mainland. Especially inspiring in mid-summer, the marsh grasses turn brilliant yellow-green. Combined with varying colors in the sky and water, this color is featured in my marsh paintings. Colorful scenes of inlet waters winding to the ocean or large clouds on the horizon, I hope my art brings a calming influence to the viewer’s mood, the way this landscape affects me.
