CATHERINE NELSON
Catherine Nelson was born in Australia and currently lives Belgium. She graduated from Sydney’s College of Fine Arts in 1996, after which she worked in cinema, creating visual effects for films such as Moulin Rouge, Harry Potter and Australia.
In 2008 Nelson began to focus on her own practice and has swiftly forged an international career, exhibiting in Art Fairs and with galleries around the world. With the eye of a painter and years of experience in film visual effects, Nelson creates wondrous and meticulously composed images that are at once macro and micro environments.
In 2012 Nelson was selected as the winner of the Gallery NOW Artist Award in Seoul, South Korea. In 2010 she was shortlisted for the Royal Bank of Scotland Emerging Artist Award, also winning the Client Choice award in the same prize. Her works have captured the attention of photography collectors worldwide with works in collections in Europe, Asia, USA and Australia.
