Marion resident Nancy Mitton's work is currently on display at a solo exhibition at Boston's Soprafina Gallery.

“On the Horizon” features new paintings by Mitton that are inspired by nature and location.

Art critic Gloria Russell stated: “For Mitton, the reality of place is what she can translate into paint. Seeking to express her intuitive response to the energy, color and forms of nature, she extracts her content from her observations.”

Mitton studied at the Rhode Island School of Design, the Art Institute – Boston, New School for Social Research – New York and Massachusetts College of Art, where she received a bachelor of fine arts in painting. She is an exhibiting artist member of the National Arts Club, New York and is the recipient of several awards for her paintings exhibited at the National Arts Club in New York.

Mitton’s work has been exhibited nationally and in Europe. Her paintings are in the permanent collection of corporations and museums including the Museum of the Chateau Rochefort-en-Terre as well as part of private collections throughout the United States, Italy, France, Switzerland and Canada. She is also the author of “A Romantic Art Colony, Marion, Massachusetts” which was published in 2000.

The gallery is located at 55 Thayer St., Boston and hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 11-5 p.m. or by appointment. Mitton will be present for an artist's reception on Friday, Feb. 3, 5:30-7:30 p.m. Call for more information at 617-728-0770.
