The Gallery's Perspective
You feel the sweep of the prairie before you notice the animals — a wide, sunlit valley where herds of buffalo move with calm purpose through grass and water. Nancy Glazier arranges the scene so that warm, golden light pools across the foreground grasses and the larger bulls nearest the viewer, giving them a tactile, presence-filled weight. In the middle distance smaller groups graze and wade, their rounded forms repeated across the composition to suggest a steady, communal rhythm. Cooler, layered hills and a distant ridge push the space back, balancing the warmth up front and amplifying the sense of open air and distance. The painting’s palette — soft ochres, muted greens and dusky blues — feels both serene and resilient, echoing the buffalo’s quiet strength. It’s the kind of landscape that rewards a slow look: you sense the history of the land and the endurance of these animals, presented with clear sympathy and a comforting stillness.

About Buffalo Valley By Nancy Glazier
Buffalo Valley by Nancy Glazier Giclee on Canvas Signed & Numbered
One of Nancy Glazier's favorite subjects is the monarch of the plains, the buffalo. This monumental landscape of bison grazing and enjoying the refreshing water in the valley is a spectacular image as only Glazier can paint wildlife in its natural habitat. Once hunted to almost extinction, the buffalo thrive today in many areas of the country. These magnificent animals are a symbol of the old and the new West and continue to fascinate the artist.

Always knowing she wanted to be an artist, Nancy Glazier's grandmother presented her with her first set of oil paints when she was eight. Her delighted father sold her first painting when she was twelve.
Her family moved to Wyoming when she was sixteen. Glazier was introduced to Cody Museum muralist, Adolph Spohr, who singled her out for private instruction.
Painting is the very breath of her life. While she is painting, Glazier feels complete, joyful, powerful and free. Today, the animals Glazier prefers to paint are truly wild and free. Elk, deer, moose, bear, cougar, coyote, fox, birds from osprey to pine siskin, share their territory with her in the mountains of the Northwest. "My paintings invite you into this world. Journey with me awhile. I will share with you what the eyes of my heart see."
