While attending the Minneapolis College of Art and Design many years ago, Nelson began drawing  quick portraits and sketches at local conventions and high school graduation lock-ins.    After taking a 

BFA degree in painting, began attending sidewalk art fairs—just starting up at this time—-and drawing caricatures at them.  He also taught a variety of art classes to students of all ages—-in painting, drawing and clay.  The theme of faces appeared a lot.

 

I’ve always drawn ever since I can remember and have had the good fortune of being able to work at something I love doing.   I still enjoy drawing caricatures after all these years, because I play the face as a musician plays his instrument, listening carefully for what it has to say.   Each face is like a new song to me to observe and bring a fresh interpretation and expression to it.   The result is always a revelation to  both the sitter and myself.  After all these years, I am still constantly entertained by it.
