Nancy Coe Art
Nancy Patricia Coe was born in 1932, in San Jose, California, to Henry Surtcliff Coe and spent most of her life on Rancho San Felipe in a two-story, brick colonial residence, originally built by her father, on a commercial cattle ranch. With its weeping willow trees and picturesque red barn, it made for a happy home nestled in the heart of San Felipe Valley. Henry Coe State Park is named after her grandfather, Henry Willard Coe. She studied arts at Stanford University and graduated in the 1950s. While there, she met S. Gainer Pillsbury, MD, a fellow alumnus, whom she married on June 19, 1956. While an accomplished user of charcoals and Conte crayons, Coe painted primarily in oils, showing and winning awards in Reno, Nevada in the early 1960s. Her works, including landscapes and portraits, have been featured in numerous newspaper articles in the Reno Gazette-Journal. Coe’s palette-knife painting of Salvador and Virginia Prado, two ranch hands, was featured on the cover of a Mexican-American history textbook, A Guide to the Study of the Mexican-American by Feliciano Rivera (1969) and published at San Jose State University. Coe was a major benefactor to the St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Evergreen, California, providing funds to help with its initial construction. Her remains are interred there. She was felicitated with many prestigious awards including the first award at the Nevada Artists Association in 1960. Coe’s work was exhibited at the San Jose Museum of Arts and Fine Arts Museum, San Francisco, from 1987–97.
