Nancy Bush    

Landscape artist, Nancy Bush, is a native Texan—born in Austin and currently living in the beautiful hill country of Fredericksburg.  Nancy’s lifelong love of art began at an early age by watching her great-uncle Ralph Rowntree, an international portrait artist, in his studio.  She received formal art education in Austin but developed her unique style with a subdued tonalist palette while studying and painting with Scott Christensen and Michael Workman.

Nancy and her husband travel extensively.  While traveling most of her painting is done “en plein air” but she also takes many photographs to use as reference when painting her larger pieces in her studio.  Nancy is in her studio five to six days a week on average for six to eight hours a day.

Nancy says of her work “Landscape is my love.  It is ever changing yet soothingly the same.  There is so much to capture, but I find myself thinking ‘less is more’.”  She feels her work is about human emotions in time and space and that the contrasting elements of light and dark, warm and cool, moist and arid, etc. “should evoke a very human response of how one feels upon viewing the painting.  If they connect that way, then I feel my work is validated.  Nothing can imitate nature, but I hope my paintings will convey a single quiet moment of reflection of nature at her best.”

Ms. Bush is a member of American Women Artists, the California Art Club, Oil Painters of America and Alla Prima International.  Articles about her work have appeared in Southwest Art and Artist Magazine.
