About the Artist :: Nancy Lovley
Nancy Lee Lovley, artist, creative painter, and floral designer, brings to her pastel portraiture sensitivity, and intuition about the creative process. Born in New England, and a resident of Maine for over twenty years, Nancy is represented in collections throughout New England, the United States, and Canada.
Nancy’s focus is on pastel portraiture, having refined and mastered the medium for thirty years. “The medium of pastel, with its variety of colors, its ability to be easily blended on the surface of the paper, or board, is perfect for me. With it, I can create the color nuances so critical to portraiture, and the skin tones. The medium captures light and shadow contrast, and is wonderful for adding depth of textures to my work.”
Underlying, and guiding her technical work, is the desire to elevate the viewers’ consciousness to the beauty and harmony of mankind, as God’s highest creation.
