Nancy Dunlop Cawdrey Archives - Coors Western Art

Nancy Dunlop Cawdrey paints with vibrant French dyes on crepe de chine silk fabric adapting her experience in water media to express her renowned contemporary style. Cawdrey’s signature western motif paintings, vibrant florals, and commanding wildlife masterworks can be found in museums and private collections around the world. Her home studio is in Northwestern Montana right next to the endlessly inspirational Glacier National Park.

In 2020, Nancy was honored to launch a one-woman traveling museum exhibit titled “Forever Glacier” which focuses on the mammals native to Glacier National Park. The collection contains twenty-five large-format original silk paintings depicting Glacier’s variety of mammals, habitats, and landscapes. Forever Glacier has exhibited at the C.M. Russell Museum, The Booth Western Art Museum, The Hockaday Museum of Art, and continues to travel to new venues around Montana and the rest of the country.

Nancy also teaches silk painting workshops multiple times a year. For the past 14 years, she has led a workshop at Triple Creek Ranch in Darby, MT, a five-star resort and member of the prestigious Relais & Châteaux.
