After three years in the Customer Service Cr Department of Nordstrom, she became a secretary in the Cornish College of the Arts drama department. The two then wrote together on a free-lance basis, returning in 1992 to Seattle and to Almost Live. In 1996 she wrote and produced a 32-skit, 7-character stage piece Cheaper Than Therapy, which was presented that year at Seattle"s Market Theater.
Since that time, Guppy has been creator/host/producer of a series of programs focusing on Pacific Northwest arts and culture, first City a Go Go on the Seattle Channel and KCTS, and currently (as of 2015) Art Zone with Nancy Guppy, a weekly television program on the Seattle Channel.
In 2015 she produced an art exhibit Musician: a Portrait Project at Seattle"s newly restored Union Stables, featuring portraits by Ernie Sapiro of 172 prominent figures from the Seattle music scene.
