Nancee Jean McClure
Nancee Jean McClure earned both a Bachelor`s and Master`s Degree in Art
Education and taught middle school art briefly before accepting a position as
an educational consultant with the Illinois State Gifted Program. In addition to
travel and public speaking, this job involved writing and illustrating
educational material.
This exposure led to a job offer from an educational publisher. For the next
several years, Nancee Jean wrote and illustrated several art and crafts books
for children and worked as art director of a busy publishing company.
Eventually, however, the desire to step away from a consuming, deadline-
driven career demanded a change. Nancee Jean left the publishing company,
moved to Colorado, and started her own development house, providing
creative and prepress services to publishers. Although this job also had
demands, it allowed Nancee Jean time to return to her first loves, painting
and illustrating.
Always an active outdoor enthusiast, it was only natural that the subject
matter that appealed to her was the natural beauty of her surroundings. The
unsurpassed beauty of western Colorado provides the artist with unlimited
opportunities to paint powerful landscapes and awe-inspiring wildlife. You
can view her fine art at www.nanceejean.com.
Nancee also has over 20 years experience creating instructional graphic
design and providing creative, development, and prepress services to
publishers of material for young children.
Painting animals of any kind appeals to Nancee Jean. She recently illustrated
three children`s books titled "The Lazy Alligator," "Trunks and Tails," and "We
Are Hippopotamus" by award-winning author Jon Archembault. She is an
active member of the Rocky Mountain Chapter of SCBWI and the International
Reading Association.
