Nancy Shuttleworth has been immersed in art from an early age, inspired by her mother, Ruth Shuttleworth, and a lineage of female artists, including her great-aunt, book illustrator Mary Strange Reeve. Though she pursued a career as a chiropodist, art remained a lifelong passion. After raising her three children, Nancy dedicated herself fully to painting, drawing inspiration from nature, light, and movement. She experiments with various mediums, from pastels to watercolours. A largely self-directed artist, she exhibits occasionally, finding joy in sharing her work. Influenced by Turner, Pissarro, and Renoir, she continues to explore and evolve creatively.
