Nancy Anne Woolf-Pettyjohn
Nancy Anne Woolf-Pettyjohn is a diversely talented artist born in America, residing in Missouri. She is internationally known both for her accuracy and attention to detail. In the beginning, wanting to be a surgical missionary nurse but having come down with four fatal diseases: (three from a sterile operating room) it was clear God had other plans. Five doctors gave her no chance to survive but God alone healed her.
Nancy had a successful antique shop with a vintage clothing museum and did appraisals. After closing her shop to pursue law school she received a degree for Paralegal/Legal Assistant. Working for lawyers and freelancing she was told she was intimidating with her knowledge. She soon found that law came too easy and she needed a challenge.
Nancy was born to creative parents both artists and inventors. Her mom always had an appreciation for fine workmanship and lace textiles. Having learned by watching her Mom’s artwork all her life and having no formal training she decided to pursue art. This is where she feels the most challenged and satisfied. This was God’s plan as he blessed her with a natural God given talent. Her mom once asked, “Can you see it? Then you can paint it”. Nancy took it to heart.
Accomplishments include:
Who’s Who in Art
Who’s Who in America

Only artist in the world to paint museum lace
Nancy is the daughter of Homer & Lucy Woolf and the wife of Matthew Pettyjohn.
