Irene Nelson
Irene Nelson is a painter and printmaker in the San Francisco Bay Area. Nelson's paintings, drawings and monoprints convey inquisitiveness, a sense of adventure, and the promise of something better ahead. Her zesty color palette, elegant lines and pared down shapes tumbling confidently through an easeful space combine to create a dynamic, hopeful environment.
“An abstract painter, I create layered and atmospheric works, offering dreamlike impressions of worlds seemingly in the process of becoming. The paintings rely on the acceptance that I am a part of something larger than myself. Gestural marks are organic and free, while biomorphic forms and color relationships contribute to the sense that these are visions inspired by the subconscious.”
