Nell seeks to continually explore mediums and their ability to convey what she wants. All her collections are inspired either from natural forms or by her fine art paintings. They have a painterly, hand made feel and are always in color palettes that are uplifting.

She says art is a big challenge, but if her work raises a smile, moves people, or lightens their heart, then that makes art all worthwhile.
