PROFILE
OF THE ARTIST
Nancy
Bush is a native Texan, born in Austin and currently resides in
Fredericksburg, Texas.
Her pursuit of art
has taken her to many beautiful places in the world to study and paint a
wide variety of subject matter. “Landscape is my love and is always a
challenge, spiritually and emotionally. The variety and vastness of it
can sometimes be overwhelming. Simplification is the answer. “Less Is
More”. The last light of the day or daybreak interests me more than
other times of the day. I also love gray cloudy days.
Trying to capture
the spirit and emotion of what is happening before my eyes is the
greatest challenge. “I want the viewer to feel the physicality and
emotional essence of the subject matter of the painting.”
Her
greatest influence in her art has come from the nineteenth and twentieth
century painters George Inness, Isaak Levitan, Bruce Crane, John Henry
Twachtman and Russell Chatham.
“Nothing can imitate
nature, but I hope my paintings will convey a single quiet moment of the
landscape in its raw beauty.”
