 About the Artist

      Nancy Tilles is an award winning fine artist
      and portraitist.  She is known for her beautiful representational
      paintings of living things.  Her oil paintings have been compared
      to photographs in their attention to detail and enhanced accuracy
      of color but they are not photographic at all.  Instead, they
      could be called a kind of painterly realism.  Her portraits of
      people and animals are rich in color and each painting tells
      a story about the subject's life.  

      Nancy's work has appeared publicly numerous
      times.  Her underwater series entitled "Sea eScape"
      was recently purchased by the City of Sunny Isles in Miami Beach.
       Other publicly commissioned work includes The Wild Things by
      The Boys and Girls Club of Palm Beach County and The Bus Bench
      project by The West Palm Beach Downtown Development Center. 

      Nancy has exhibited her work several times
      at 

      PB International Airport and in the Village
      of Wellington's Art in Public Places. Her paintings are on display
      at Alligator Art in Wellington.  She has displayed her work at
      many festivals and shows including Artigras, Sunfest, Wellington
      Art Festival and Jupiter Art Fest by the Sea, to name a few.
      

      Her work has been published multiple times
      and her painting "Sheer Determination" was chosen as
      the cover of "Palms West Almanac" Magazine 2004.  She
      is presently licensing many of her images to be used on various
      products. 

      The River of Grass Artists' Retreat, located
      in Palm Beach Gardens, is Nancy's new home/studio where she is
      working on commissions and offering classes to adults looking
      for a special place to be creative in a beautiful natural setting.
