A Life in Color
Born in London, Kentucky, Nan Phelps demonstrated an early fascination with the natural world, spending her childhood studying rocks, flowers, plants, streams, clouds, and small animals. This innate curiosity was fueled by a gift of crayons at age five, which sparked a lifelong love for drawing. During her teenage years, she transitioned into painting after a teacher provided her with watercolors and paper. After moving to Hamilton, Ohio, in 1922, she began primarily using oil paints. Her talent was recognized in 1940 when she won a local talent show, earning a scholarship to attend the Art Academy of Cincinnati.
Phelps was a prolific creator who worked for over sixty years, producing more than 1000 paintings. Her diverse body of work included:
