Laura Bernardeschi Nelson is a multidisciplinary artist working primarily with mixed media and oil pastels. Her practice explores resilience, climate change, women’s experiences, and mental health, often informed by research into art therapy and the restorative role of creativity. Drawing inspiration from landscapes, found materials, and personal observation, her work balances abstraction and suggestion, using texture, colour, and gesture to evoke emotional and environmental narratives. Through an intuitive, process-driven approach, Laura creates artworks that reflect persistence, care, and recovery, positioning art as a space for reflection, awareness, and connection between inner experience and the natural world.
