Working within painting, photopolymer gravure and collage, Brenda Nelson’s work serves as a mixed-media meditation on the complexities of our relationships to our physical and emotional surroundings. Combining imagery drawn from her observations of the everyday, she creates connections and disconnections in order to explore a new and evolving narrative for our time of constant change. Each work forms a material, visual representation of these personal and collective mythologies, offering opportunities to establish new meanings.
Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Nelson has shown regionally and internationally, most recently at the Mariposa Gallery in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
