Debra Nelson is an American artist working in the impressionist style of painting.   The effects of light, as it falls on everyday objects and on her surroundings, influence her art.

In a lifelong pursuit of art making, Debra has experience in most mediums. This pursuit has eventuated in  the passion for still life painting.  It fuels her love of historical objects, design and balance.  Debra creates works with an emphasis of light as it captures the beauty of form.

She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Brigham Young University and has studied with some of the most accomplished contemporary artists throughout the country.

“To work as an artist allows me to cherish the world around me, to see the variation in color, the changes in value, and nuances in personality. The challenge to interpret this visual chaos into a visual language of beauty keeps me growing as an artist”
