Nancy Murgatroyd

Nancy Murgatroyd creates pictures in oils, acrylics and pastels. Her two interlinking passions are painting and developing her Georgian walled garden where she grows the flowers she often paints.

Her pictures are designed to engage the viewer in a visual adventure. They encompass balance and contradiction. One flower on a grand scale exploding a blossom which is tiny. Still lives engaged in great activity. Abstract works that explore both the light and dark side of our thoughts. Aspects of landscape real and dreamlike in suspended animation.

Some of these vibrant and colourful images are printed onto natural silks and cottons. Nancy then embellishes them with quilting, stitching, beading and appliqué to create living art textiles. These rich and luxurious pieces of work can be scarves, banners, throws, wall hangings, cushions or just beautiful objects.
