​​About the Illustrator
Nancy Youngblood
Watercolor Illustrator

Nancy is an award-winning artist who is heavily involved in the arts in her community.

Nancy loves painting animals and ranch scenes. She and her husband Rusty live
on a cattle ranch and poultry farm in
rural Arkansas, in the same small community where she was raised. Naturally, her favorite subjects to paint are common country landscapes that include beautiful animals of all kinds. It’s easy to see why she loves painting pet portraits too! Nancy paints in
acrylics, oils, and watercolor. The latest children's book she illustrated was hand drawn and painted in watercolor. In addition to enjoying farm life with her family and painting she stays busy with local art clubs such as Cossatot Arts and Crafts Association President, and board member
of Southwest Artist/ Mena Art Gallery. Nancy also enjoys participating in art shows which are a fun way for her to learn
from other artists and endeavor to better her own abilities; always pushing to improve her skill set.
