The Gallery's Perspective
There’s an immediate sense of weather and wide space here—three horses braced against a rising wind on a sunlit ridge. The tall grasses lean and ripple, their golden tones set against a storm-dark sky, which makes the animals feel both exposed and resolute. Notice the contrast between the sturdy mare at right with her head held into the breeze and the softer, more mottled coat of the mare at left; together with the attentive foal, they read as a small family unit quietly vigilant in the elements. The painterly handling keeps detail enough to feel the animals’ weight and muscle while letting the sky’s movement and the grass’s texture create atmosphere. It’s the kind of scene that brings a countryside hush and a hint of drama—comforting yet alive—suitable for anyone who responds to nature, animals, and the rugged poetry of open land.

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."
