Tyndall Galleries in Chapel Hill, NC, Features Works by Nancy Tuttle May
Tyndall Galleries in Chapel Hill, NC, is presenting the exhibit, New Paintings, on view through Nov. 11, 2006.
"Intense color continues to be the core of my process, sometimes brilliant and at other times muted with hues hinting at the mystery of the process," says May. "My current work is on canvas; with acrylic, gold-leaf powders, oilstick, pumice, marble dust and silk tissue. I am constantly in awe of the creative energy that leads me to the next idea. My way is intuitive; life furnishes the raw material with all its chaotic profusion. When the viewer connects with my work, I feel a deep sense of completion."
May's paintings can be found in private and corporate collections worldwide. Born in Greensboro, NC, she is a Wake Forest University graduate. She studied painting in Perugia, Italy at the University per Straineri in 1979 and the Universite Canadiene en France, Villefranche-sur-mer, France in 1995. She also studied with Sas Colby in Taos, New Mexico, Don Stone on Monehegan Island, ME, and Ed Betts at the University of Illinois. Her paintings have been included in juried shows in North Carolina, Florida, Arizona, and Sun Valley, Idaho. Helen Frankenthaler, Mark Rothko, and Richard Diebenkorn have been major influences.
With a strong commitment to community, May serves on Boards for the Nasher Museum of Art, the Duke University Library and the Durham Art Guild. She is Chair of the Durham Arts Council's Emerging Artist Program. She was awarded a Durham Women of Achievement Silver Medallion and is an associate member of the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
May's teaching experience includes Career Renewal Workshops for the NC Art Educators Association and Marketing and the Business of Art workshops for the NC Museum of Art, the Women's Center of Orange County and Continuing Education at Duke University. She has also been a guest speaker for Duke University's Women in Leadership series through the Womens Studies program.
