Local artist Nancy Tilles is known for her oils and portraits, which hang in public and private
collections throughout the country. She exhibits her work in nationally recognized art shows across
Florida. Nancy recently completed a commissioned portrait of beloved cardiac surgeon, Dr. Malcolm
Dorman, which is installed at JFK Medical Center in Atlantis, FL.
Along with her portrait work, Nancy has created bodies of work representing flowers,
underwater scenes, and tropical art in mural-sized triptychs. Nancy’s newest series is called “Figures in
the Ficus”. She says, “I am fascinated with Banyan and Ficus trees…. I usually begin these paintings with
a unique tree and weave the figures into its structure.” At first glance, the viewer sees a lovely tree, but
after a while, the whimsical human figures within the tree are realized, giving these paintings a truly
magical quality.
Nancy is presently teaching painting to adults at Easel Art Supply and at the City of Palm Beach
Gardens. She is passionate about sharing her love of painting with her students. Nancy is also an active
member of the Wellington Art Society, whose members consist of dedicated professional artists, up and
coming artists, art lovers and supporters. Learn more about her work at her website:
