About Chickadee Studio!

Hi! My name is Nancy. Raised in Utah and currently living in Northern Colorado, I've always loved being outside. Hiking, camping, biking, paddle boarding--the works! As much as I love the outdoors, it's far more likely that what brought YOU here is my lifelong passion for art. I graduated from BYU with a BFA in Illustration and later completed my Masters in Art and Design at University of Northern Colorado. At Chickadee Studio, I create art for your event that's as unique and colorful as you are. I'm happy you're here!
