Magazine Article

My painting Blue Hydrangeas and Grandmother's Clock was recently the focus of an article in En Punto, the South American timepiece design magazine. "Huh? What? How?" you ask? Easy answer, the internet! One of the magazine's editors, Beatriz Bunduel Smith, was googling around for images of women's clocks, when she came across my painting. She then emailed me a few questions, and when she heard the story, how it really WAS my grandmother's clock etc. she seemed very interested, and wrote up the article...just a little human interest piece tucked in amongst the more serious (and swanky!) industry analyses. Guess I'm going international, or as my son H pointed out "intercontinental" (En Punto is based in Guatemala.)

It's a beautiful full color two page spread, The only slight downside is that the article is all in Spanish (the price one pays for "going international" I guess!) Here are some excerpted paragraphs, in translation:

Each element in the painting is there for a reason: the alive and colourful flowers represent a living and feminine memory. The clock, passed from one female generation to another…becomes a memento that contains emotional memories. It is a mere object, but it grips time and makes it stand still in remembrance.

This composition by Nancy Bea Miller, created with impeccable technique and well-studied colours, is not a mere painting. It is a memory made into a painting, a link of blood turned into colour. In the heart of everything we find a living and beating being: the antique clock. ~Beatriz Bunduel Smith
