About the Artist
Nancy Christensen Littlefield
during the wintertime. I came to share his love of gardening and birds. In school I got in trouble for doodling on any scrap of paper, tests etc. My piano teacher fired me, and suggested my parents try to find a new talent when I was in the 7th grade. They found Carol Harding’s Art Class. She and Mr. Gerber laid the foundation in art that I have relied upon to this day.
I took a community Education Class in watercolor in my early 20s, and finally found my medium! Through- out my 20s, I audited BYU watercolor classes as much as my pocketbook and little family would allow. Professor Cliff Dunston had the most profound effect on my work and I was also greatly influenced by Professor Osral Allred and my first watercolor teacher Stan Harward.
From 1991 to 1993, I had success with my watercolors in the following areas:
1991-1993 Western Heritage Art Show during the Days of 47 in Salt Lake City.
“Legacy Renewed and Remembered”, Salt Lake Arts Center.
“Flights of Fancy” Utah Arts Council.
“Utah Masters of Wildlife Art Invitational” Kimball Art Gallery.
“Women Artists of Utah” and the 57th Annual April Salon Springville Art Museum.
1992 Artist of the Year for Art and Soup, Salt Lake City UT
Wild Wings Miniature Art Show and Johnny Appleseed Festival Lake City MN
“Western and Wildlife Art Show” Minneapolis MN
1991 Northern Nationals Carving Championship, judging the mammal and fish division.
1993 Utah Upland Game Habitat Stamp and Print.
1994 January Cover of Peterson’s Hunting Magazine.
International Fly-Fishing Museum, Pat Lilly Gallery.
George Phippen Museum of Western Art, Prescott AZ
Gallery Affiliations included Galleries in Park City, UT, Cody WY, Lake Tahoe NV, and Sedona AZ and the International Fly-Fishing Museum. I participated in the Salt Lake, St George, Park City, Boulder City and Prescott Art Festivals. I donated work to many organizations, MS Society, Sirens of the San Juan, Ducks Unlimited and many Wildlife Conservation Groups Art Auctions.
1995 saw the beginning of Geneva Steel’s decline, and I went to work to help augment the family’s income in a more consistent manner. I was the regional manager for Mac’ Hobbies and Crafts frame shops, and then joined Southwest Airlines Reservations. I painted two 6’x13’ murals for Southwest Airlines in our SLC and Phoenix Reservation Centers.
I restarted my love affair with watercolors while recovering from a severe illness in the fall of 2017. I haven’t looked back and am grateful I can just have fun splashing around in this medium. I am teaching at The Art Place, 220 S 200 West, St George.
