Karin Nelson, an award-winning, nationally published artist, began her self-taught art journey in 2009 while working as an Executive Assistant. Her experimental acrylic paintings quickly gained attention, prompting her to pursue art full-time. Known for her bold, abstract landscapes, cityscapes, and seascapes, Karin’s work has been featured in international publications. Acrylic Magazine described her style as "strong angles, powerful lines, and the intersection of light and shadow." Karin thrives on the thrill of creating without sketches, using unconventional tools to achieve energetic, contrasting marks. Living near Lake Michigan, she draws endless inspiration from her surroundings and feels grateful for the opportunity to pursue her artistic calling.
