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 2022 Nancy was invited to take part in Frieze Art Fair with the Thomas Dane Gallery. In 2023 four of her artworks were selected for Women in Revolt! first shown at Tate Britain and now at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. She also has work in the Hayward Gallery touring exhibition at the Midlands Art Centre (MAC) from 22nd June 2024.
Her solo show 'Still, Her Spirit Soars' was shown at St Mary's Church in Walthamstow as a part of E17 Art Trail 2024.
