My artwork revolves around a personal language of symbols and archetypes. The subjects of the paintings change from piece to piece and from project to project, but the core of the work stems from a long developing personal lexicon. The work touches on Neo-Expressionism, Imagism, and outsider art, emphasizing simplified images. For me, the unconscious is like a reservoir. Themes emerge, some that are humorous, others that are cryptic and vague. Nelson lives and works in Tempe, Arizona. An MFA graduate of Arizona State University’s Herberger School of Fine Arts, his folk art inspired works have been exhibited and collected both nationally and abroad. A sculptor as well as a painter, he has completed commissions for clients as diverse as, the National Endowment for the Arts, the United States Postal Service and the Perrier Corporation of Paris, France.
