In 2016, I purchased a beautiful piece of metal art that he created. I love it and every time my daughter visits, she comments how much she appreciated the piece. I was in the process of trying to locate him, to purchase another piece for my daughter, when I learned that Mr. Nelson passed away just before the "Off the Square" art festival took place. In 2016. I was very saddened to hear this and will treasure my piece even more. Please accept my condolences for your loss. He was such a gifted and talented artist.
