She often does a series of works of the same subject in shifting light, seasons and weather. [Paintings in a sequential or topical series have numbers following a shared title]. Her Dogs In Motion paintings are achieved by following her subject as it moves freely through its familiar environment.        Born in Wales and now a resident of Carrboro, North Carolina, Nerys Levy is deeply rooted in her native country's language and culture, which has influenced her painting. Levy had a first career in race relations, community work and education, working in India, the Caribbean and London. She has a Ph.D. in South Asian History from the University of London. Although she painted throughout much of her childhood, Levy began serious art studies in 1980 in La Jolla, California, working with various members of the Visual Arts Department of the University of California at San Diego.        Nerys has had many solo exhibitions, including the Galleria Santo Stefano Exhibit in Venice, Italy, the Louise Jones Brown Gallery Exhibit at Duke University, and recently at the National Humanities Center, and has participated in many group exhibitions. She has been represented by the Principle Gallery in Alexandria, Virginia. Her paintings are in many private collections in the United States and Europe.
