N. M. Watkins
 

Influenced by the southwest, Nancy has been involved with some form of Art for most of her life.  In her teens, her entry in an upper level student art show, received an award.  Nancy later earned a Fine Arts Degree as well as a teaching certificate from The University of Arizona.  She has been working in the area of decorative arts for quite sometime providing her art pieces to retail shops as well as creating an internationally known company which specialized in creating authentic scale adobe buildings.

Since her move to Colorado, Nancy has continued in the decorative arts and has volunteered in several public school fine arts departments.  Currently, inspired by the western lifestyle, Nancy is returning to painting.  She is also experimenting with limited reproduction of her work for the first time.
