Fountainside
Gallery in Wilmington, NC, Features Works by Sandy Nelson
Fountainside Gallery
in Wilmington, NC, will present the exhibit, Azalea Festival
Showcase: New Works by Sandy Nelson, the 2010's official Azalea
Festival Artist, on view from Apr. 5 - 30, 2010.
The 2010 Azalea Festival will be held in Wilmington, Apr. 7-11,
2010. Nelson executed this year's painting of the beautiful Airlie
Gardens. The works in oil in Fountainside's showcase feature a
variety of coastal landscapes, paintings of Airlie Gardens, still
life and other local scenes. Equally adept at rendering hills
and coastlines, Nelson reflects both her rural childhood and life
on the coast of North Carolina, her home for the last ten years.
Nelson studied fine art at the University of Kentucky and later
with several nationally known artists across the country.
Now, with works in over 70 corporate collections, including those
of Sam Walton, founder of Walmart, and George Steinbrenner, owner
of the NY Yankees, and Rotary International, Nelson is exhibiting
in galleries where collectors are recognizing her work. As an
artist working in the commercial sector for several years, she
did assignments for the Bloodhorse Magazine, book publishers
and other publications. The requirements of commercial art taught
the artist discipline and interpretation. Since then, she has
been profiled in "M" Magazine, Northlight
Magazine, Rotary International and other publications; recently
one of her portraits was featured on the cover of Bench &
Bar Magazine. Nelson was a finalist in The Artists Magazine's
top 200, had work published on the cover of books such as the
Beach Book and was featured in Southwest Art magazine's
'Start your Collection" section. Nelson excels in landscape
and figurative work, capturing the essence of light and her subject.
