Whether a ring, pendant, stained glass window or pottery piece, Nell's work has impeccable craftsmanship, and exhibits a grace and beauty derived from the natural world.
 
Nell was a biologist /zoologist before becoming a professional artist over 20 years ago, and at times she still walks in both worlds.  Recently, she spent six years living and working in the tropics of Bolivia, South America, dividing her time between her artwork and wildlife research.  "The colors, the people, the living forms, they all have strongly influenced my life and my work," she says. Born in Danville, VA, she has now settled down, with husband Todd, son Neil and daughter Lily, in her beloved Blue Ridge Mountains, their tranquility and beauty evident in her work.  Read more about the artist >
 
Nell is "...an artist of real integrity, whose work is an expression of a deep love of nature and a profound respect for its claims....an imaginative and meticulous craftsman - one who handles color, line, and shape with a poet's sensitivity and a scientist's discipline."  - M.E. Jefferson
