Marsh at Dawn, Oil Painting

2024

Artist Comments
Lush greenery and dreamy purple clouds set a tranquil mood over a coastal wetland. At dawn, the scene exudes a serene beauty as a subtle hint of sunlight emerges, signaling the beginning of a new day. Soft, delicate strokes capture the radiant atmosphere of the scene.

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.”
