About the Artist

Wade Nelson is a Virginia-based painter whose love of art has been a constant thread throughout his life. Rooted in the landscapes and living things of his home state, Wade works primarily in oil, bringing native Virginia flora and fauna to life with an intimate attention that can only come from someone who truly belongs to a place. 

When he is not in the studio, Wade can be found coaching soccer, parenting his two kids, or exploring the outdoors with his family and their dog - the same world that continues to inspire everything he creates. 

Wade is available for commissions and welcomes the opportunity to bring a piece of Virginia's natural beauty into your home.
