NANCY WYLIE is a realist painter working in watercolor, pastels and oils. Her passion for painting the world as she sees it come from living in Colorado as a sixth generation native of Arvada. She loves how the blue skies and sunshine create deep values and colors giving her work depth and light.

Nancy has loved art as long as she can remember. She graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a degree in Art Education, and a minor in Outdoor Education, in 1977. During that time she studied art in Italy for half a year and studied the masters throughout her travels in Europe.

What motivates Nancy to paint is "the beauty of God's creation" and the desire to capture that beauty with paint, emphasizing light with the use of strong values. Subtle patterns of color and striking light and shadows move her to paint a variety of landscape scenes to beautiful florals.

Nancy is represented by: Ago Gallery, Ouray, Colorado; Sand Dollar Gallery, Denver, Colorado; and Main Street Gallery, Glenwood Springs, Colorado. She is a member of numerous arts organizations, including being a signature member of both the Colorado Watercolor Society, and the Pastel Society of Colorado. She has won numerous awards at local, state and national shows.
