About the artist:

Nancy Glazier began oil painting at eight years of age. Her grandmother responded to a child's yearning and took her to her first art supply store. "I still remember that wonderful smell. I still feel how my heart beat, and how everything seemed to shine. As a child, Glazier's pets were her soul mates. Surrounded by many small pets, she longed for horses and great dogs. As an adult, she milked goats, rode horses, raised buffalo and trained dogs. Today the artist prefers that most of her animals be truly wild and free. "Elk, deer, moose, bear, cougar, coyote, fox; birds from osprey to pine siskin share their territory with me. All around me is living, constantly changing inspiration." The artist believes that painting is the very breath of her life. She recognizes her artistic talent as a gift from God. "While I am painting, I feel complete, joyful, powerful and free. Life overflows and streams out in colors like a song, or like thunder, or like the wind through my finger tips!"
