Nancy Allen is a retired graphic designer
and colored pencil artist living in La Grande,
Oregon. Her main interest is equine
portraiture and the use of colored pencil as a
ûne art medium and she continues to do
selected graphic design work for local
clients.
Horses have been the main source of
inspiration for her throughout her career and
she mainly worked in pen and ink until a
friend convinced her to try working with
colored pencils about 15 years ago and since
then it has become her main medium of
expression in the realist art world.
Nancy enjoys portraying horses in unusual
poses and angles, regardless of breed or age,
if she can capture the personality of the
subject, their intelligence, humor and
knowledge.
Nancy resides with her husband, Matt, a
radiologist, on a small farm in Union
County, growing cherries and alfalfa hay in
Northwest Eastern Oregon at the foot of Mt.
