2024 Bio Nancy Junkin is a visual artist whose work invokes bold color stories to create a sense of harmony and beauty in a chaotic world. Junkin, who has studied under artists from across the US, believes that color influences both mood and identity. Thirty years ago, a dream pushed her to pick up a paintbrush. Ever since, she's used painting as a mode of therapy and discovery- both for herself and for her clients. Her work, which draws on abstract and realist practices, is represented by the Howell Gallery in Oklahoma City and. Terra Rosa Art Gallery in Guthrie, OK. MEMBERSHIPSOklahoma Visual Arts CoalitionOklahoma Art Guild Allied ArtsAmerican Impressionist SocietyInternational Society of Experimental ArtistsEXHIBITIONS AND DONATIONSOklahoma Friendly National Juried Show 2011-12; 2012 - First Place "Wild Frontier" DivisionSolo Show - Flips Wine Bar & Trattoria, 2012La Baguette - 4 person show, 2013Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition 12x12 event, 2012-15Oklahoma Museum of Art Omelet Party, 2012-14Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition, 2015Boys and Girls Club of Oklahoma City Gala, 2013-15One-woman show, The Howell Gallery, Oklahoma City, OK August 2017Two-person show, The Howell Gallery, Oklahoma City, OK August 2018One-woman show, The Myriad Gardens, Oklahoma City, OK 2019Allied Arts Artini, Oklahoma City, OK, 2015-2019Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition 12x12, Oklahoma City, OK2012-2018One-woman show, The Howell Gallery, Oklahoma City, OK September 2021One-woman show, The Howell Gallery, Oklahoma City, OK August 2023Open Studio, 20-24Jen Tough Gallery, Santa Fe, August 2023Art Expo NYC, December 2023Art Santa Fe, July 2023Presentation to Harding Prep School Art Club, September 2024Open Studio11/24Free To Live Auction 3/25EDUCATIONDennis Johnson - Oklahoma City Lance Green - ColoradoBert Seabourn - Oklahoma City Sas Colby - CaliforniaMilt Kobayashi - New York City Steve Kilborn - New MexicoMitch Lyons - Pennsylvania Steffani Zachry-Hollubec - TexasAnne Gonzales O'Brien - New Mexico Melinda Cootsona - CaliforniaJoan Fullerton - Colorado Audrey Phillips – South CarolinaJodie King – TexasKrista Harris – ColoradoAWARDS1st place in Wilderness Division, Oklahoma Art Guild Friendly National Juried Show, 20111st place, Where Art Lives Juried Shows, 2017 REPRESENTATIONThe Howell Gallery – Oklahoma City, OKTerra Rosa Gallery – Guthrie, OKThe Edmond Family Vision Center – Edmond, OK
