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.
Since then she has branched out to original print making and oil painting, depicting a variety of landscape and marine subjects, and is often captivated by scenes in which the figure fills the canvas.
She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Abilene Christian University and cites the influence of notable traditional painters such as Sargent, Sorolla and Fechin.
Boren's paintings, Aloft in the Western Sky and Four Corners Cowgirl, are 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 Cowboy and Western Heritage Center in Oklahoma City, and the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Show at the National Arts Club, NY.
Her paintings were used in the feature film 9 Months and the ABC TV show The Benefactor.
She was one of five finalists in the state of Texas for the design of the Texas Quarter in 2004.
Artist's Statement:
"Creating something that previously didn’t exist has always fascinated me; I love the magic of translating an idea into the reality of a completed painting.
I use figure painting as a vehicle to explore compositions containing large simple shapes, interesting silhouettes, and strong contrasts of value and color".
She has received multiple awards and honors from the American Impressionist Society, the Oil Painters of America, American Women Artists, the National Oil and Acrylic Painters and more.
She has achieved Signature Member status of the American Impressionist Society and the Oil Painters of America and Master Signature status of the American Women Artists.
Il primo dipinto di Nancy Boren, un acquerello, è stato realizzato all'età di 12 anni, mentre era seduta accanto al padre artista, James Boren, mentre dipingeva al Grand Canyon.
Da allora si è dedicata alla stampa originale e alla pittura ad olio, raffigurando una varietà di paesaggi e soggetti marini, ed è spesso affascinata da scene in cui la figura riempie la tela.
Ha conseguito una laurea in Belle Arti presso l'Abilene Christian University e cita l'influenza di noti pittori tradizionali come Sargent, Sorolla e Fechin.
