 Artist’s Statement

    Living abroad for twelve years, most recently in Hong Kong for 6 ½ years, Nancy Lloyd returned to the US in January 2002 and moved to Solebury in September, 2007.  She has been painting in oils since 1993 and enjoys all types of subject matter. She also works in encaustics, collagraphs, monoprints and collages.
    Having lived in England, Philippines and Hong Kong, Nancy immersed herself in diverse cultures.  She has received numerous awards including the Stamford Pulmonary Associates Award for the oil painting A Quiet Moment at the “55th Annual Art of the Northeast USA” held by the Silvermine Guild Galleries,  New Canaan, CT in 2004 and the New Vision Award of Miniature Prints in Hong Kong for the monoprint  Turtle and Fish at the “Hong Kong Visual Arts Festival 2001”.  Her work can be found in collections world-wide.
    She enjoys giving back to the community by being an active volunteer for artistic causes.  She is currently on the Board of Trustees for Artsbridge, Lambertville, NJ.  Also, Nancy founded an art group within the Silvermine area that is composed of Silvermine Community residents to provide a forum for local artists to meet and inspire each other.  The first annual Artists in Residence show, was held at the Silvermine Tavern in February 2005, with 25 participants and it is an active group that continues today.
