TROPICAL CELEBRATION
Artist Reception for Nancy Tilles
Join Whole Foods Market in Wellington and the Wellington Art Society as we celebrate our tropical world in the paintings of local artist and
resident, Nancy Tilles. The current display includes paintings of marine life and trees and flowers of the tropics. Additional paintings will also be exhibited on the night of the Celebration. Her newest 9’x5′ triptych inspired by the Water Lilies at McKee Gardens in Vero Beach will be unveiled and on display that night only.
Nancy Tilles is an award winning artist, well known for her paintings and portraits. Her paintings are joyful expressions brought to life through color and form. Influenced by living in South Florida for over 30 years, her images often reflect a tropical theme, rich in color.
Nancy’s work has been commissioned publicly and privately numerous times. Her underwater series entitled “Sea eScape” was purchased by the City of Sunny Isles in Miami Beach. Community participation is important to Nancy and she regularly donates work to various charitable organizations. In 2011 her painting “Gemstone Hawksbill Turtle” was chosen to represent the Art Fest by the Sea in Jupiter with a commemorative poster. Her portrait of a young rider jumping her horse in “Sheer Determination”, was awarded best of show and chosen as the cover of “Palms West Almanac” Magazine 2004. She is presently licensing many of her images to be used on various products.
Nancy enjoys exhibiting her work at art festivals where she can meet people and exchange ideas. She has appeared in festivals throughout Florida including Artigras, Sunfest, Naples Art Fair, and Jupiter Art Fest by the Sea. Recent exhibits include the Palm Beach International Airport , the Village of Wellington’s Art in Public Places, the Town of Jupiter Community Center and Village Art Gallery in Tequesta. Presently her work can be seen at Alligator Art in Wellington, Hurricane Cafe in Jupiter and Palm Beach Jewelers in North Palm Beach. Originally from New York, Nancy earned her BFA from the University of Miami in 1977. She currently resides in Palm Beach Gardens and spends her time working on commissions and teaching adults who are interested in perfecting their painting skills or learning how to paint for the first time.
