Artist Biography

Nancy has always been interested in art and nature.  She was born in Southfield, Michigan, and later moved to Florida, working her way through college in Jacksonville.  After graduation, she worked in conservation law enforcement as a Duty Officer for the Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission.  Her interests in painting and nature eventually led to a career in wildlife art.  Lacking extensive formal training, she believes her artistic ability was an inborn gift from her father, the noted artist Boyd A. Zimmer II.

Early in her career Nancy was presented with 2nd and 3rd place awards in the World Wildlife Art Championships.  Her work is internationally known and found in galleries, state museums, and private collections.

Education efforts are important to Nancy.  She created T-shirt and jewelry designs for the Florida Wildlife Federation.  She was commissioned by the State of New Jersey to create the limited edition art print Nature's Legacy.  The print commemorates the centennial celebration of the State's Division of Fish, Game, and Wildlife.  The funds raised from the sale of the prints act as tuition grants for college students interested in biology or conservation law enforcement.

Nancy strives for accuracy and realism in her work and continues to strengthen her commitment to furthering conservation awareness.  After spending over six years in the capitol region while her husband served at the Pentagon, Nancy and her family now joyfully reside in rural Montana where she continues to create new works.
