Nancy Boren’s first painting, a watercolor, was done at age 12 while sitting next to her artist father, James Boren, as he painted at the Grand Canyon.
She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Abilene Christian University and cites the influence of notable traditional painters such as Sorolla, Fechin and the Taos Founders while also embracing a bit of a contemporary vibe. Boren’s painting, “Aloft in the Western Sky,” is part of the permanent collection of the Booth Museum of Western Art in Cartersville, GA. She has also exhibited at the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, the Gilcrease Museum, The National Arts Club and the Salmagundi Club, NY.
The American Impressionist Society awarded her painting Best in Show in 2018 and she has recently completed a Liliedahl art instructional video titled “Light, Motion, and Drama.”
