Glaswegian by birth, Scottish artist Nancy Turnbull spent a few years away from her homeland, however her love for the natural landscapes and native flora drew her back to the county of Stirlingshire, where she spent her formative years.

Nancy Turnbull is inspired by nature, both visually and by its very essence. She works to create Scottish paintings that portray the landscape’s transitional state, continually working towards a freshness in her work. Often attracted to subject matter otherwise overlooked, Nancy Turnbull hopes to capture a scene and inspire the viewer to look again and be struck by the beauty that perhaps only she herself had initially been able to perceive.

Nancy Turnbull looks to make impressions with her work, in all senses of the word: Physically with her instinctive marks by using a variety of tools, through imitation rather than exact representation and by evoking a feeling that the viewer can draw from the painting.

Having trodden the coast lines of the scenes she paints her whole life, Nancy Turnbull truly does have an understanding and affinity with each place. The soft colours and tones she uses in her work not only mirror the palette she sees before her but also the calming and peaceful state which the landscapes themselves clearly instil within her.
