PAST EXHIBITION

​

Soprafina Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of paintings by Nancy Mitton which is inspired by the vastness of water and sky.  A resident of Marion, Massachusetts, Ms. Mitton lives in close proximity to the shore and uses its beauty and force in creating her paintings. 

Nancy is an avid lover of nature:  its expansive beauty, power and light.  Nancy's paintings use the physicality of the oil paint as she creatively constructs her canvas using wet paint with adroit skill.  Her love of paint is evident in the luscious brushstrokes.

Art Critic Gloria Russell stated “For Mitton the reality of place is what she can translate into paint.  Seeking to express her intuitive response to the energy, color and forms of nature, she extracts her content from her observations.”

Ms. Mitton studied at the Rhode Island School of Design, the Art Institute – Boston, New School for Social Research – New York and Massachusetts College of Art, where she received a BFA in painting.   She is an exhibiting artist member of the National Arts Club, New York and is the recipient of several awards for her paintings exhibited at the National Arts Club in New York.

Ms. Mitton’s work has been exhibited nationally and in Europe.  Her paintings are in the permanent collection of corporations and museums including the Museum of the Chateau Rochefort-en-Terre as well as part of private collections throughout the United States, Italy, France, Switzerland and Canada.

Nancy is also the author of “A Romantic Art Colony, Marion, Massachusetts” which was published in 2000 and a second printing is scheduled.

The gallery hours are Thursday through Saturday from noon to 5:00 pm or by appointment.  Ms. Mitton will be present for a reception on Wednesday, July 7th from  5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.  Please call for more information at 617.728.0770.
