Nancy Hughes Miller
Moonlight Marsh, Oil Painting

2023

About the Item

Artist Comments
A full moon rises in an indigo sky over artist Nancy Hughes Miller's impression of quiet marsh wetlands. The golden glow illuminates the drifting water and nearby trees. "The moon seems especially bright at the coast where views are unobstructed," says Nancy. Calm and peace radiate as moonlight shines its magic across the landscape.


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.”

    A sweeping landscape of Rapid City, South Dakota. Lights glow against a dark atmosphere filled with cliffs and mountains.
