Carol D. Nelson Artist’s Statement

I love to paint. My style of painting varies from realism to abstraction. My paintings reflect my emotional and responsive connection to the world around me. Nature provides patterns, rhythms and textures that stimulate my creativity. In the creative process, there comes a point when the energy of the painting emerges and the materials themselves offer suggestions and direction. My goal is to be responsive to the process and guide the work to an expressive interpretation of nature’s spirit.

“The work of Carol Nelson is a bold exploration of both realism and abstraction. Each piece probes the essence of color, surface texture, and structural mass. Firmly rooted in the essence of the landscape, her abstract compositions often suggest geologic elements with the use of natural and man made materials such as metals, plastic, and numerous acrylic mediums.”

As a child, I loved creating colorful pictures. Now I can make a living doing what I love. Visit my blog for the latest work, with tips and comments on the painting process. On my website, all of my work is categorized according to subject matter and style.
