Artist Comments
A serene seascape with a glowing cloud delicately hovers over the tranquil shore. Artist Nancy Hughes Miller uses a variety of pastel colors to express the sky, the sandy beach, and the water with soft light appearing on the horizon. The painting exudes a sense of calm and invites the viewer to feel the soothing atmosphere of the sea.

About the Artist
Reflected in Nancy Hughes Miller’s paintings are the coastal and rural environments of southeastern North Carolina, her birthplace, where she still spends much of her time. As a child, Nancy’s primary education did not include art classes, so she was delighted when one day her oldest brother returned home from college with newsprint and charcoal. She went on to pursue a career path in graphic design and fine arts. Now a full-time artist, Nancy experiments with vibrant colors and fluid forms to create her non-traditional, painterly landscapes. She enjoys working with oils, a medium that dries slowly and lends itself nicely to blending. Nancy strives to produce artwork that is, according to her, “quiet, yet bold.”
