NANCY MILNER
Nancy Milner was born in Lima, Peru into a family with a history of artistic tradition. It was her grandmother, a nationally renowned writer, poet, and theater critic that sparked Nancy's early interest in art. After leaving Peru, Nancy broadened her experience by living in Spain, England, and New Zealand. Her exposure to diverse cultures and landscapes had a profound impact on her artistic sensibility and overall life perspective.
Through this journey she rediscovered herself and found her voice through painting. Her contemporary paintings and atmospheric landscapes reflect an aura of mystery, deeply influenced by a combination of her Peruvian background, worldly travels, her admiration for JMW Turner, and the Hudson River school.
