Nelson is a self taught muralist who turned to painting in the early 1990’s after frustrated career as a commercial artist. The press release for the opening leads off by mentioning that his work “constitutes a world unto itself” and the website mentions that his style of painting is reminiscent of the “sun drenched optimism” of some of the New Deal, World War II style of painting.
