Artist Comments
Artist Nancy Hughes Miller presents an impressionist prospect of tranquil wetlands. Vast sky views from the coast provide an endless source of inspiration for her. Pinks, purples, and peach-yellow colors appear on soft clouds as the sun sets. Water drifts quietly through the glowing marsh grasses. “I try to stop, observe and appreciate the magical light of late day,” says Nancy. “These fleeting moments remind me of our wondrous universe.”

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.”
