​

Nancy began exhibiting her contemporary, colourful paintings on the BS9 Arts Trail in 2019. Since then, her work has gained wide appreciation and can be found in homes and galleries across the world.

​

She says “I have painted my whole life and following a 30 year career in the charity sector, I now have more time to paint professionally.”

​

Nancy says “I aim to capture an essence rather than a literal interpretation of each subject. I enjoy not just the colour but the textural quality of paint and I work with both to achieve the finished painting. With a dandelion, for instance, I paint with needles to capture their distinctive petals and for my poppy paintings I make my own ‘palette knives’ from old milk cartons. 

 

Her large, hyper-real fruit paintings encourage the viewer to appreciate the beauty of everyday subjects such as pears, figs and strawberries.

​

Nancy is always happy to arrange a studio visit in Bristol, or to send images and videos about any piece that catches your eye. She takes around 5 commissions per year, so please visit her on the BS9 Arts trial to discuss the perfect piece for your home.
