Allan Tubach was born in Falls City, Nebraska. He studied commercial art at the Omaha Art School from 1957 to 1958 and continued his art training at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. For over 20 years beginning in 1959, he worked for the Omaha World-Herald where he became Art Director and Color Coordinator in charge of the Art and Photography Department.

From the late 1960s through the early 1980s, he traveled to diverse locations in Europe and the length of Nebraska’s Platte River that resulted in a series about his travel experiences for the World-Herald’s Sunday supplement, Magazine of the Midlands. In 1974 he was featured in a National Geographic magazine story and described “as one of the Midwest’s outstanding young painters who explores the essence of life on the great American prairie.”
