Nancy Worth was born in the Midwest and attended Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. In 1991 she moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado where she still lives and has her studio. She has taught drawing and painting at both the high school and adult levels, and has served as artist-in-residence at Rocky Mountain National Park, where she continues to lead an annual workshop. For many years she focused on transparent watercolor, and has recently resumed working in oil on canvas.

The inspiration for Nancy’s work is her daily experience and surroundings: “My hope is to capture a moment, a memory of things we see but perhaps fail to notice the simple beauty they radiate. I hope to create a sense of the universal in the painting so that there is a connection to every viewer and an invitation to enter. My desire is that the work is livable, something that can be experienced and enjoyed every time you look.”

Worth’s works are in many private collections, including the National Park Foundation in Washington D.C., the Governor’s Mansion in Austin, Texas, and Rocky Mountain National Park Headquarters in Estes Park, Colorado. She has received several awards, including the Marble Medal from the American Watercolor Society, a bronze medallion at the Arts for the Parks National Exhibition, and the Irving Shapiro Memorial Watercolor Award from the Northern Colorado Art Association.
