Nancy Thomas - ‘Home & Away’
4th April to 29th April 2006
Private view 4th April 7.30-9.30pm
An interesting collection of traditional and contemporary landscapes
in pastel, watercolour and oil by local artist Nancy Thomas.
Nancy has travelled extensively throughout the world, the furthest
distance being New Zealand. Her paints always go with her. She works
in oils, watercolour and , her favourite at present, pastel. Because
of her travels she has paintings in private collections in Australia,
America, Canada, Ecuador, Norway, South Africa and the British Isles.
Her paintings reflect her travels but she still thinks the Lake
District and Scotland cannot be beaten for magnificent scenery,
especially the mountains.
She has exhibited in Not the Royal Academy held at the llewellyn
Alexander Gallery every year since 1992 and has appeared on television
three times for the Gallery. Other exhibitions featuring Nancy’s
work were Alexander Palace, United Artists Westminster, Rye Open
Exhibition, University of the Third Age, Evegate Farm Art Gallery,
Lathe Barn near Hythe as well as at Church mouse in Hythe.
She also exhibits with the Tunbridge Wells Art Society, Orpington
Art Club and Knockholt Art Club as she is a member of these Kent
Art Clubs and enjoys participating in their various activities.
Apart from the above she has had one-woman exhibitions at Evegate
and Church Mouse galleries, 2- woman at Lullingstone Centre and
4-woman here at Ripley Arts Centre, Bromley.
Nancy still goes on painting courses and has attended courses run
by David Bellamy, Barry Watkins, Bob Erends, Graham Oliver, Rod
Williams, Kathy Todd on Tresco and Marie Blake as she feels you
never stop learning!
