Nerys Levy, now a resident of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, was born in Wales and is deeply rooted in her native county’s culture which has influenced her painting. She is also captivated by Earth’s mysterious forms and forces of nature and has worked all over the world including in the Norwegian Arctic and Antarctica. Her Polar experiences have resulted in her deep long-term commitment to educating the community about climate change and her work was shown at four North American museums in the traveling exhibition “Vanishing Ice”. The Arctic/ Antarctic section of her website www.neryslevy.com is being promoted as a valuable educational resource for elementary school children by Disney Penguins- Disney’s educational platform, the UK’s Times Educational supplement’s website and the UK Schools Inspectorate. Nerys also teaches art at FRANK Gallery, Chapel Hill where she chairs that Gallery’s outreach endeavors. She has shown nationally and internationally, and her work is in many private collections.
