Biography

William Nelson was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1942. His art studies began at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago at age twelve and continued until awarded a full scholarship to the same school.

William Nelson's art work embodies a complete spectrum of American life. His Western and Native American images have been compared the work of other realist greats such as George Catlin and the legendary Fredric Remington. Nelson's nostalgic art has been compared with the work of Norman Rockwell and Andrew Wyeth. In 1976, Nelson was commissioned as the official exclusive artist for the Olympiad by the United States Olympic Committee and his work was part of the Atlanta Olympiad in 1996.

William Nelson was also commissioned by the U.S. Congress to paint "A Bicentennial History of the United States" which was unveiled before leaders of the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration in Washington D.C. and was later put on display at the Smithsonian Institute. Nelson has works that are displayed in the White House, The National Museum of Art, and numerous private collections.
