Nancy Steen
Nancy Steen, painter and printmaker, received her Bachelor
of Arts degree from Gonzaga University and did graduate work at New Mexico
State University and the University of New Mexico. After producing a series
of lithographs at Tamarind Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico, she moved
to California and founded her own lithography workshop, New Leaf Press,
producing her lithographs and publishing lithographs for other Bay Area and
New York artists. Her lithography and paintings are a combination of realism
with fantasy that utilize subtle colors and depth. Steen’s exacting,
technical ability and adept use of color confirm her as one of the
Southwest’s outstanding talents.
The artist has shown her work at major juried,
invitational and one-woman exhibitions throughout the United States and
Canada. Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles
County Museum of Art, Oakland Museum of Art, Phoenix Art Museum, Denver Art
Museum, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Colgate University Museum, San Jose Museum
of Art, Museum of Fine Art in Montgomery, Alabama, Roswell Museum and Art
Center, Monterey Peninsula Museum, University of Calgary Museum and the
Museum of New Mexico. Several corporate and private collections are Chase
Manhattan Bank, Pacific Telephone Company, Environmental Protection Agency,
Congress Factors, Nabisco World Headquarters, Prudential Insurance and the
Bank of America.
