Nancy Bailey is well known for her rugged palette knife paintings of Cornwall, capturing the endless variations of light, weather, tides and times of the year in her paintings.

When in her teens Nancy took photographs with her father's home-made camera to produce picture postcards which sold throughout the country. After several moves around the Westcountry and the South of England the family moved to Ireland, from where she produced marquetry pictures which went all over the world.

On returning to Cornwall in her early fifties she turned her skills to working in oil with a palette knife. Nancy enjoys capturing the light and reflections of the Cornish coastlines and river scenes in particular.

Nancy is internationally renowned, and is acclaimed as one of the leading palette knife artists in the U.K. Her unique textures beautifully capture the rugged scenery of the Cornwall.

Despite reports of her death a few years ago Nancy is alive and well, but now that she is in her nineties she has stopped painting. Her popularity has not waned and the demand for her work has increased dramatically, as has its value.

Cornish Art Prints is extremely proud to be able to offer prints of Nancy's work, and believe that her unique textures and colours have been captured in our prints.
