OCEAN SPECIFIC ART
NANCY WYLLIE [1977, Master of Art Education]
Based in North Kingstown, RI
Ocean Specific Art is located in a seaside studio in N Kingstown, RI. The beauty and timeless mystery of the ocean along the coast of New England, the Caribbean and Central America inspire every element Wyllie’s work. A 21st century sensibility informs each painting with a fresh interpretation of marine life in its many forms. These are dimensional seascapes that are carefully layered as a means of creating active surfaces in keeping with the everchanging motion and rhythms of the sea. Wyllie’s paintings and mixed media pieces reside in private collections from the US to Tokyo and in Public collections including the Newcomb Art Museum at Tulane University and the State Darwin Museum in Moscow. In April 2024, three paintings were purchased for the Boston Children’s Hospital.
