The Gallery's Perspective
A hush settles across this dawn scene—the polite, watchful pause of a mother bear and her three cubs as they peer into a mist-filled valley. The soft, cool light of early morning filters through haze, bathing the rocky slope and foliage in a gentle glow that makes the bears’ dark forms feel solid and quietly protective. Notice the tender variety of poses: one cub looks up toward the mother, another hesitates on the lower ledge, while a third nestles closer to her flank. Those small gestures give the piece a warm, intimate story without a single dramatic move. The palette is restrained—muted greens, grays, and warm browns—so the mood leans toward calm and attentive presence rather than spectacle. It’s the kind of image that brings a sense of calm observation and familial steadiness to a room, a quiet reminder of care and watchfulness in nature’s softer moments.

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."
