Nancy Tilles

³I am attracted to the individual organic form, whether it be human, animal or botanical. I love the way light hits the objects around us. Reflected light throws splashes of color on adjacent objects. This fascinates me. Beauty surrounds us there are so many opportunities to interpret that beauty using color, form and depth. Oil is my medium of choice because of its organic quality which so closely emulates reality.²
