Artist Comments
“Moody clouds appear in shades of blue and gray over dark waters,” describes artist Nancy Hughes Miller. “I find inspiration walking the beach, letting my senses soak up atmospheric shifts as the weather quickly changes. Though a storm may be approaching, there is light in the sky reflecting onto the waves. I feel calm serenity near the powerful ocean.”

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.”
