Marina Nelson - Multiple Layered Abstract Paintings


The funny thing about the creative process is that we rarely know exactly how a finished piece of work is going to turn out.  What we always do need, however, is a departure point – an initial concept born from love or admiration of beauty itself.  One such artist whose wonderfully layered work reveals this process is Marina Nelson.  Full of depth and intensity you are always looking at way more than just the immediate visual message upon viewing her work.  As she puts it in her own words:- “My painting reveals itself slowly through multiple layers, or maybe I am peeling my own onion.”
