Nancy Gray LSDC
Mixed Media
Nancy studied at Dundee University, initially focusing on mixed media using paper and print, before discovering a love for textiles and stitch.
She uses hand stitch and machine stitch on cotton and wool, using a variety of cotton and metallic threads. Each piece is completely unique.
Nancy works from her natural surroundings and experiences of walking and wild swimming in her native Cumbria. She mainly focuses on water based pieces and often does quick, abstract sketches before starting a piece.
Nancy has a B.A. HONS in Fine Art from the University of Dundee (Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design) 2008-2011
Nancy has been published in the Batsford book 'Sketchbook Explorations for Mixed Media and Textile Artists' - Shelley Rhodes (2018)
