Nelson’s work is an assembly of hand-printed paper, fabric, sewing, photographs, text, embellishments, and other materials and images that have significance to her.
“Making a diverse collection of ingredients coherently connect represents a broader theme of ‘synthesis’ in my work. The result reflects a visual story, makes an ethical statement, or recounts family history,” said Nelson of her work.
After a career in banking, Nelson obtained degrees in Liberal Arts and Fine Arts to pursue her love of art. She moved to Colorado in 1993. She has been practicing art and working with various forms of mixed media, primarily collage.
Her work can be found in private and corporate collections here and abroad and in exhibits in the U.S.
HRRMC displays the work of regional artists each quarter, with an emphasis on the Arkansas Valley. Interested artists can call 719-530-2217 for more information on exhibiting art at HRRMC.
