Nancy Lloyd was born during World War II on a wheat ranch in Idaho's Snake River country. As a young adult she lived in Portland, OR, where she attended college before going on to make her way in the business world as a bookkeeper, office manager and statistician.
In the late 1970s Lloyd was ready for something different. This grandchild and great-grandchild of professional artists reverted to family type. She moved to the Long Beach, WA, Peninsula and devoted her time to artwork.
Since then she has created paintings, books, maps, interpretive exhibits, and hand-printed casual clothing. Her media have included leather, watercolor, screen-printing, pen and ink, acrylics, and the written word.
Regionally she is known for public artwork such as panels on the Boardwalk at Long Beach, for Nahcotta's Willapa Bay Interpretive Center, for shipwreck maps of the region, for paintings such as the large acrylic of the old lightship at Long Beach's Lightship Restaurant, for fine screen-printed casual clothing under the business name of Oysterville Hand Print-a partnership with Dr. Gwen Newton-, and most recently, for the abstract paintings shown on this website.
An author since the 1980s, Lloyd's interest in local history has led her to write about the oyster industry of Willapa Bay and, lately, a precisely researched and written history of the Peninsula, "Observing Our Peninsula's Past." The two-volume history covers one of the West's most interesting areas as seen through the pages of its century-old newspaper, the Chinook Observer.
Nancy lives across the street from Willapa Bay in Oysterville, Washington.
