Artist Information

	Nerys Levy currently resides in Carrboro, North Carolina was born in Wales. She is deeply rooted in her native country's culture, which has influenced her painting. Levy had a first career in race relations, community work and education, working in India, the Caribbean, South Africa and London. She has a PhD in Modern South Asian History from the University of London. Although she painted throughout much of her childhood, Levy began serious studies in 1980 in La Jolla, California, working with various members of the University of California Visual Arts Department at San Diego. She also studied at the Pacific Art League in Palo Alto, California. Many of her works are in private collections both in Europe and the United States. Working on site using mixed water-based media on paper, Nerys portrays the forms and forces of nature-North Carolina's forests, Alpine masses, glaciers, cloud formations, animals (especially dogs), European gardens and old architectural forms altered by time. She often does a series of works of the same subject in shifting light, seasons and weather. When painting animals, Nerys usually documents their movements in a series of works done on site in their home environments.
