CAROL NELSON. Colorado Artist.





























Biography:
Carol Nelson.- I am a Colorado artist specializing in acrylics and mixed media. I teach workshops around the country to artists interested in learning mixed media techniques.. Please see my website for the latest workshop schedule. I also offer private instruction in my Colorado studio. Please email me for more information on private instruction.
My paintings reflect my emotional and responsive connection to the world around me. Nature provides patterns, rhythms and textures that stimulate my creativity. In the creative process, there comes a point when the energy of the painting emerges and the materials themselves offer suggestions and direction. My goal is to be responsive to the process and guide the work to an expressive interpretation of nature’s spirit.

“The work of Carol Nelson is a bold exploration of both realism and abstraction. Each piece probes the essence of color, surface texture, and structural mass. Firmly rooted in the essence of the landscape, her abstract compositions often suggest geologic elements with the use of natural and man made materials such as metals, plastic, and numerous acrylic mediums.”

PAMELA BLAIES. American Painter.























Biography:
Pamela Blaies works with oils to create representational art. She discovered her passion for painting soon after starting a family. Her small children were sad about their recent move, so to lift their spirits she began to create murals on their bedroom walls. She found herself anticipating each morning filled with painting. Compelled to explore this newly discovered part of her, she began to experiment with painting on canvas. These first steps were just the beginning of her lifelong commitment to the pursuit of painting. She works "alla prima" style, finishing each piece while the paint is still wet.

Through dedication, study and hard work, she pursues her art with enthusiasm. While nurturing her passion for painting, she has learned to feel, see and connect on a deeper level.
She’s a native Texan. She was born in Irving, raised in the Houston area and attended high school in Georgetown. After graduating from Baylor University, earning a degree in Business Administration, she was ready to spread her wings and experience more. She skipped the graduation ceremony to catch the first flight to Europe to continue the fashion modeling career she enjoyed for over a decade. She is working toward becoming fluent in Spanish and loves to travel, but home is where her heart is - Texas.
