WHO IS
DAN NELSON?
Dan Nelson is a visual artist, musician,
and gentle provocateur of the soul.
His work lives at the intersection of beauty and belief
— each brushstroke a whisper of restoration,
each composition a quiet echo of eternity.
For Dan, art isn’t just expression; it’s reconciliation.
Whether he’s painting, sketching, or composing,
his aim is simple: to reflect the divine image in
every face, every form, and every fractured place.
Visitors to his studio (or his coffee shop table) know:
conversation is part of the craft.
A dialogue with Origen, Augustine, or Tolkien
might break out at any moment.
His pieces have been exhibited in galleries,
commissioned by churches, and cherished in
private collections around the world.
But ask him what matters most,
and he’ll likely point to the joy of creating
in the presence of his fellow travelers, who
—whether they know it or not—
press on toward the Restoration of All things . . .
and maybe just one more
perfectly pulled espresso along the way.
Dan and Nancy; outrageously contented for
45 years.
HOW DAN PAINTS:
Two hands, a tux
and a smile . . .
Plus a really
big canvas
