Nancy Tome
Award winning, fine wildlife artist, Nancy Tome, depicts a variety of birds and other wildlife in everyday life. Combining distinct realism and composition in her paintings, Tome combines bold colors with intense detail to depict animals in their natural environment. Her acrylic paintings are designed to capture “a moment in time” of that animal’s daily life. She uses research obtained from travel, zoos and private collections to compile all of her knowledge and understanding of an animal and its environment into a realistic and emotional scene.
Tome is a self-taught artist. She left the public relations field to work as a freelance illustrator for the Los Angeles Zoo. She has traveled all over the United States working on coyote and pronghorn research projects in Yellowstone National Park, whooping crane release programs for Florida Fish and Wildlife and fish studies for U.S. Fish and Wildlife. Tome has also worked as a zookeeper and studied animal behavior and anatomy extensively.
