Kate Nelson

Kate Nelson holds degrees in Pre-Medicine and Art from the University of Massachusetts, where she was influenced by Chuck Close and Keith Hollingworth. She has studied printmaking and painting both on Cape Cod and at Haystack Mountain School, Deer Isle, Maine. She began her career as a teacher of lithography at Cape Cod Conservatory and owner of a graphic design agency. She now devotes herself to non-representational painting and printmaking.
Nelson is drawn to and moved by outdoor life. Through her artwork, she tries to dissolve what she sees in nature into what she feels. She pours her feelings about nature into abstractions, attempting to fuse the experience of exterior landscape with "inscape", the inner landscape of psyche and spirit.

"Like jazz, abstract painting is born in passion, nurtured in structure, and grown by improvisation. I hope to see my work become like good jazz music; disciplined yet free, spare yet full, within a rich tradition, yet achingly personal."
