From her youth, Nancy Glazier has possessed an immense love of both
art and animals. Born in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1947, Nancy sketched
and painted at every opportunity. Her future in art was shaped in ninth
grade when she began taking art lessons from German artist, Adolph Spohr
whom she respected and adored. By the age of eighteen she set out on
her own, determined to "become an artist".
After living in California for a time, she returned to her native state
of Utah and painted the wild animals of Asia and has since found the
greatest pleasure in painting what she knows best - our North American
wildlife.
Nancy Glazier expertly and sensitively records on canvas the very spirit
of these Native American animals, gathering information and inspiration
in Yellowstone National Park, The Grand Tetons, and the Black Hills of
South Dakota.
Since a recent move to rural Montana, Nancy contends that her work
is changing. "I am able to view so many species of animals on a
first-hand basis. It's so exciting to be here. My many ideas for paintings
are just brewing inside me and waiting to be put on canvas."
Her works are featured in several galleries and were presented in a
one-woman show in her home town during April of 1981. In 1986 she was
selected to design the first fund raising print for the Colorado Wildlife
Federation entitled, "Crown Prince-Mule Deer". Nancy was also
selected for the 1987 Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum's "Wildlife
in Art" show with her painting "Southwest Sundown-Whitetail
Deer".
