Nancy M. Bush
Artist
Profile
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, 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.”
