Art offers NVRH another way to connect and engage with our community.
The mission of the Charles M. and Hanna H. Gray Gallery is to bring the healing power of the arts into NVRH. The Gallery hosts rotating shows throughout the year that feature local and regional artists, as well as student art shows. The Gray Gallery is located in the corridor of the hospital main floor.
Current Exhibit: Nancy Bushey – “NJB’z Kreative Khaos” – August 20 – October 12, 2026
Retired in 2025, painter Nancy Bushey lives in Newark, Vermont, with her husband of 30 years, Stephen. Nancy’s interest in art began at a young age, when she casually explored a variety of mediums, including oils, acrylics, chalk, and pencils. Several years ago, she was introduced to abstract art and quickly became fascinated by the freedom of different painting techniques, the movement of color, and the unexpected results that emerge through the creative process.
She finds abstract art both challenging and rewarding and affectionately describes her style as “Mizfit Art,” embracing imperfections as part of the creative process. Through her distinctive “pour painting,” Nancy allows colors to flow freely across the canvas, often discovering shapes, movement, and images as the paint develops. From there, she may creatively blend fantasy with reality, bringing those forms to life. Other times, she allows the piece to remain abstract, leaving its meaning entirely to the imagination and interpretation of the viewer.
Nancy creates and shares her artwork under the name NJB’z Kreative Khaos, a fitting reflection of the color, spontaneity, and creativity found throughout her work. Nancy is delighted to have her artwork on exhibit at NVRH and hopes each piece brings a little joy, curiosity, and perhaps even a smile to those who experience it.
Nancy’s work will be on display at the Gray Gallery located on the hospital’s main floor through August 17, 2026. 25% of all sales from the exhibit will directly benefit NVRH and its mission to provide exceptional care to our community.
