With an eye to the ground and then to the paper, Nessler's art
continues to explore
new directions. Her 28 years of experience are evident in her fresh
and spontaneous
charcoal drawings, the deeply moving and evocative paintings on dark
vellum, as
well as in the unique Edges collection. This particular collection,
using the edges
of the vellum skin, incorporates her paintings with selections of dried
seeds, flowers,
leaves or stems.
