Who is Nancy Glazier

Nancy Glazier knew she wanted to be an artist from early childhood. In her teens, she lived in Wyoming, where she immersed herself in the rugged, western terrain. There, she was mentored and taught by artist Adolph Spohr, who gave her private instruction and taught her how a professional uses paint and brushes, how to observe and self-correct.

Surrounded by mountain beauty and the animals she loves to paint, the artist says, "I feel a kinship with the animal that grows as the painting progresses. There is a powerful chemistry at work. People always ask me what my favorite animal is to paint. I tell them it is always the very animal I am painting at the time." For Nancy Glazier, it is "a warm, living, breathing process that brings me back again and again to the easel. It is my ultimate reward."

Many of Nancy Glazier's admirers and collectors consider her to be an extraordinary artist, whose paintings seem "alive." For her, this is warm praise, because she desires to share what she experiences through her paintings. Nancy Glazier hopes the viewer, too, will feel the warmth of the sun or the crisp chill of winter, smell the sage and dust, or hear the bellow of the bison.
