Coffee with John Randall Nelson. John is one smooth individual, they way he walks, talks, dresses and generally carries himself. He has this aura of confidence combined with an inquisitive nature that makes him incredibly easy to converse with. It’s rather refreshing. At first glance, John is the quintessential artist. You would never know he played collegiate football as a linebacker. He has a great laugh and his sense of humor is not only evident in his persona but also his artwork.
John is a proud father of two amazing ladies and a loving husband for almost 40 years. He is as appreciative of his family as he is of all his artistic accomplishments. John is a painter, a sculptor, an illustrator, a designer, an engineer, a storyteller and problem solver. He is a benevolent teacher, mentor and arts supporter. John’s contemporary work ranges from small 2D paintings to large-scale installations, and everything in between. His work is fun, energetic, interesting, colorful and beautifully crafted. I thoroughly enjoyed our chat and look forward to sharing a cup of coffee again soon. You can see his work on-line at http://whonelson.com/
