Portraits in Charcoal. Visions in Color
Pencil & Pixel Studio
John Nelson is a portrait and digital artist whose work blends classical technique with contemporary expression. Known for his evocative charcoal studies and vivid full-color digital illustrations, John captures not just likeness, but emotion — crafting each piece with intention, depth, and soul.
Originally from Newcastle, England, and now based in the scenic Finger Lakes region of Central New York, John’s art is deeply influenced by the landscapes and histories of the places he’s called home — from the art-rich Adirondacks to the rolling vineyards of CNY. His work reflects a lifelong dialogue between past and present, tradition and innovation.
For the first time, John is offering original works for sale, alongside fine art prints, unique merchandise, and custom commissions. Whether you’re drawn to the raw honesty of charcoal or the vibrant storytelling of digital color, there’s something here to bring beauty into your world.
