Nancy E Becker

Nancy’s formal education includes a B.A. in Art from the

University of Colorado, and a B.F.A. in Graphic Design from

California College of the Arts in Oakland, California. Studies

with respected living artists

are vitally important for her

continued artistic development

and networking, as well.

Workshop studies include those

given by wildlife artist Bob Kuhn

(deceased ‘07), and landscape

painters Clyde Aspevig, Skip

Whitcomb, Ann Templeton,

Scott Christensen, Michael

Workman, Nancy Bush, and

most recently, T Allen Lawson.

Nancy has always combined her love of the outdoors with

her artistic muse. She finds inspiration in mountain, desert

and coastal vistas, especially places that remain unscarred by

modern day development. The moody effects of light that

set peace upon the farm fields, horses, cattle and wildlife

are Nancy’s favorite subjects. It is a sense of tranquility and

intrigue that Nancy portrays well.

Artistic expression has always been a part

of Nancy’s life. The stage was set from a

young age as she explored the Angeles

National Forest on horseback, discovering

rugged vistas, spectrums of color, and

patterns of light and shadow. Nancy

quickly learned to record that natural

beauty as a way of understanding what

she saw. “Drawing became part of my life through

the excitement of discovery, and to recreate that

sensation of roaming nature’s living sanctuary with

my horse as sort of a spiritual guide.”

“As an artist, I am concerned with personal expression and developing that which is unique about my vision. Most importantly, I paint to find the connection with a subject that expresses something about myself.”
