Jolyn Nelson is a multidisciplinary artist based in Arizona, working primarily in painting, ceramics, and mixed-media sculpture. Her work explores the intersection of grief, intuition, and spiritual transformation through a poetic visual language that embraces raw texture, color, and imperfection.

Guided by instinct rather than strict plans, Nelson creates expressive, tactile pieces that serve as emotional landscapes, evoking both vulnerability and the sacred. Her recurring use of animal figures, dreamlike forms, and symbolic marks draws from personal mythology and subconscious memory.

Nelson’s work has been exhibited and featured in several community-centered exhibitions across the Southwest. With over a decade of experience in creative education and a commitment to intuitive processes, her evolving practice invites viewers into a space of reflection, feeling, and quiet magic.
