The Gallery's Perspective
A slow, confident stillness anchors this scene: a mountain lion rests like royalty atop a sunlit mound of snow, watching from the warmth of its tawny coat. What first feels like quiet is actually presence — the cat’s steady gaze, relaxed posture, and the dusting of snow along its flanks announce both comfort and readiness. Nancy Glazier balances cool alpine blues and crisp whites with the animal’s rich amber fur, so the composition reads as a study in contrast between heat and chill, softness and the hard-edged peaks behind. The distant ridgeline and scattered evergreens give a feeling of open, elevated space, while the detailed rendering of the puma’s face brings an intimate, almost companionable moment within that wild setting. Placed in a room that welcomes quiet strength, this canvas feels like a calm guardian — serene, alert, and quietly majestic.

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."
