Nancy Cover
Painting nature
in colour,
texture and form.
Nancy is a Melbourne-based artist whose expressive floral paintings explore the emotional and symbolic language of nature through colour, form and richly layered texture.
Flowers as a language.
Flowers carry a universal resonance - embodying resilience, delicacy, beauty and vitality. These qualities sit at the heart of Nancy’s practice.
Working primarily in acrylic, Nancy uses an impasto technique to build thick, sculptural layers of paint that invite viewers to engage not only visually, but almost physically, with colour, form and texture.
Ridges, edges and gestures catch the light and cast shadows, giving each work a tactile presence and bringing warmth, energy and individuality to the spaces they inhabit.
From bloom
to canvas.
Nancy’s process begins with photographs of flower bouquets or individual blooms, selected for their structure, mood or presence. These images are developed into balanced compositions before being translated onto canvas.
Using palette knives, Nancy applies paint in dense, tactile strokes, leaving ridges and edges that catch the light and allowing colour, form and texture to build organically across the surface.
A creative life.
Trained as a graphic designer, Nancy co-owns a design and advertising studio and has spent more than 25 years creating commercial campaigns across digital media.
Her creative practice spans multiple disciplines, including large-scale murals, stage sets, landscapes and portraiture.
Nancy has exhibited her art across Melbourne, with her work currently available through Curate Art & Design, Greenhouse Interiors, Violet & Ivvy, Artist Lane and Bluethumb.
