Biography:	Nelson  Contemporary Figurative Artist About the Artist Priscilla Nelson is recognized for her bold, figurative oil paintings featuring rich, flowing textures and postures that evoke a wide range of sensations and emotions. A self taught artist, Priscilla began painting as a child. Her artistic eye was shaped through her experiences living in areas as diverse as San Jose, Costa Rica, Boston, MA, Greenwich, CT, Washington, DC and Dallas, TX. At age 15 she had her first sold out show in Reston, Virginia, and at 16, she was honored to participate in a program for promising artists at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC. Today, the majority of Nelson's work explores textiles and clothing, and how they convey moods and attitudes. Nelson says that her early inspiration came from her love of "people watching" and studying how individuals are able to exude such varied attitudes through what they wear or don't wear. Nelson also creates distinctive mixed media pieces as well as commissioned portraits, murals, landscapes and pencil drawings. Nelson's art is currently featured in private and public collections throughout the United States and abroad. Priscilla Nelson currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia.
Statement:	"I capture snapshot moments that viewers may interpret in their own way. I am fascinated with people watching, and it has greatly influenced the direction of my art. I paint what people surround themselves with---their clothes. People select how they want to be seen. It may be who they are. It may be who they want to be. But, it is the observer who "interprets" their presentation. The human figure has become secondary in my paintings---sometimes partially shown and at other times totally eliminated---to focus on the garment and color chosen and the density and movement of textile. My focus is to capture and convey the moods and attitudes that people exude---whether it is sensuality, playfulness, style or power. I capture these snapshots with oil on canvas, at times taking as many as 30 layers of thin paint to capture the depth of texture, richness and movement. I also create mixed media work that ignores how the mind may dress us but rather tries to capture our mind's imagination. These pieces are "faceless masks" but with much to say about who we are."
Exhibitions:	Have shown and been represented in several galleries in Tennessee and in Nevada. For the past 11 years I have opted to host two large shows per year in order to bring in new clients and to introduce new work.
