Nancy Luce (August 23, 1814 – April 9, 1890) was a poet and folk artist who lived in West Tisbury, Massachusetts on Martha's Vineyard.

[1] She raised bantam hens to survive, often giving them fanciful names such as Ottee Ophete, Pondy Lilly and Letoogie Tickling.

[3] Tourists would come to her cottage and small store on the property to visit with her and purchase keepsakes to bring home.

[6] Vineyard artist Daniel Waters has created a series of linoleum block prints featuring Luce and her chickens.
