About Crystal Nelson
As a mixed media artist and retired art educator Crystal enjoys experimenting and exploring new materials and techniques. Her love of mark-making and surface design is evident in her bold and graphic mixed media paintings, prints, and collage work. She also loves creating assemblage work using discarded and forgotten items to create “new” narratives.
Before returning to school for her B.F.A. in printmaking and painting she studied commercial art with an emphasis on package design and typography. Her work is still heavily influenced by her love of design. Crystal’s work tells a story through texture, line, shape, color and she often includes vintage papers and objects.
She has been teaching and facilitating retreats, workshops and classes for over 20 years covering a variety of topics, techniques and media. For the last 5 years she has been volunteering in various capacities for the Visual Art League of Lewisville as the presentations committee chair, exhibits committee chair and the curator of a variety of exhibitions.
