My work explores the rhythms of the environment through observation and experience. Perceptual illusions in the environment through movement, pattern and light are a continuum in my paintings, drawings, print work and photographic studies.
My most recent work has included a portfolio of photographic works, a book of drypoints, mixed media drawings and an ongoing series of oil paintings. This particular imagery is that of a series of underwater paintings focusing on the ever-tentative life span beneath our oceans. I retrace my journeys through unexpected juxtapositions, executing elements of realism and abstraction while capturing nuances of the tamed and untamed. My preoccupation with the status of our rivers, lakes and oceans has been an ongoing project for the past ten years. Having lived on nature preserves and near the water my whole life, the health of the environment is of great importance to me. -Nancy McTague-Stock www.nancymctaguestock.com |
