At J.A. Nelson Gallery, a talented local artist combines his affinity for two-dimensional painted surfaces with a love of wood to create truly unique expressions of beauty. Jim Nelson works out of his home studio in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, combining textures, patterns, and colors in unexpected and often competing groupings, and the finished works are bright, whimsical, stirring, and modern. Art is Jim's greatest passion -- he believes that being fully engaged in a joyful creative process is as close as one can get to enlightenment, and he loves nothing more than sharing that enlightenment with gallery visitors.
