Growing up in Colorado, Nelson was surrounded by mountains and snow. Today, she lives in the
southwest surrounded by the desert. The dual contrasts of these environments are expressed in her
art. She uses her glorious sense of color to communicate her message. Many of these messages are
rooted in her Apache ancestry. Nelson believes that each image speaks to the viewer in a
spontaneous way. Each image lies within the soul of the artist and the soul of the viewer.
After discovering art at an early age, Nelson focused her studies in Europe, where she was captivated
by the museums and fascinated by the style of Toulouse Lautrec. It was then that she decided to paint
on Belgium linen, which feels the tighter weave and permits more detail and brilliance. Currently, she
is working in oils and mixed media, which includes, but is not limited to, beeswax, silica sand, oil,
acrylics and gold leaf. This approach allows her to build in multiple layers and to express complex
images.
“The experience of brush-to-paint on canvas or material to canvas takes a moment to express but a
lifetime to learn. Nelson wants to share her creativity and experience with the world.
Nelson’s work is hung at the Tucson Museum of Art, The Mayo Clinic, Lexus of Greater Chicago, The
San Francisco Giants Corporate Office, State Farm Insurance and other locations. She has had group
and solo exhibitions in Scottsdale, Sedona, Denver, Santa Fe, Dallas and other locations.

| “Painting is not about only creating an image. It’s an exchange of emotions and energy. It is an encounter between the canvas and myself. With each exchange, I leave something of myself behind.” |
