Nancy Willis is a London-based artist who has been exhibiting since the early 1980s.
Her processes include painting, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media and moving image. Nancy’s work explores universal themes like love, loss and human vulnerability from her experience of life as a disabled woman.
In her early career, Nancy joyfully embraced the freedoms of being an artist in contrast to the restrictions she had experienced in her education at a ‘special’ school.
In 2023 four of Nancy's artworks were selected for Women in Revolt! first shown at Tate Britain and soon to be shown at The Whitworth, University of Manchester, from 7th March until 1st June 2025. She also has work in the Hayward Gallery touring exhibition at Dundee Contemporary Arts 19th April - 13th July 2025.
Her most recent show 'With One Touch Her Spirit Soared' was on display in the side chapel at St James's Church Piccadilly as a part of Disability History Month.
