Roger Allen Nelson

Roger Allen Nelson is an accomplished artist trained in classical realism, who has been led by his talent and passion into the demanding, meticulous medium of fresco.

Having earned a degree in Fine Arts/Art History from the University of Minnesota, Nelson began his artistic studies in 1972 at Atelier Lach School of Fine Arts in Minneapolis. The school traces its roots to Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867). A realist and naturalist with a penchant for adding quaint eccentricity to his works. Studying first in the French academic tradition under Richard Lach and Ives Gammel, Nelson began developing a taste for larger work and public art, when he was commissioned by the City of Minneapolis to design and paint murals.
