- Neltje, also known as Neltje Doubleday Kings (October 10, 1934 – April 30, 2021), was an American artist, businesswoman and philanthropist. In 2005 Neltje received the Wyoming Governor's Art Award for her artwork; she was an abstract painter. She has also created a variety of awards and programs to encourage writing and the arts, including the Neltje Blanchan Literary Award and the Jentel Foundation, which supports artists' residencies at her ranch in Banner, Wyoming. In 2010, Neltje made an estate gift to the University of Wyoming, which it says is the largest in its history. It consists of her ranch, studio, art collection, and financial holdings. When the gift is realized, the university will base the UW Neltje Center for the Visual and Literary Arts at her ranch, creating a center for collaboration among three university departments. (en)
