Contemporary landscape drawing, rooted in fieldwork.

Experience the grit and grace of working land, captured in charcoal, graphite, and pastel. Each piece grows out of time in the field—walking farms, studying grain‑growing country, listening to farmers and bakers. My drawings sit where realism meets abstraction: specific fields, grain‑growing regions, and farm roads rendered with a distinct, layered mark that collectors often recognize at a glance. Each work honors the people and places behind our food systems—from heritage grain farmers to bakers and brewers—turning the land into a living, tactile archive that becomes part of your daily life.

Bring these living, layered stories of working landscapes into your home or collection.

Forests, Nocturnes, Water, Edges of Light

Katherine Nelson is a nationally and internationally exhibited artist and educator whose charcoal, graphite, and pastel drawings capture the grit and grace of working land—farms, forests, and the iconic Palouse wheat fields rendered in layered texture and light. After more than fifteen years in Europe and extensive travel across the U.S., she brings a global, place-based perspective to rural and agricultural landscapes. Her work has been exhibited across the United States and Europe, including CARAVAN at the Washington National Cathedral, and featured in publications such as Celebrating Palouse Country: A History of the Landscape in Text and Images (30th Anniversary Edition). Prints are produced in the USA on archival materials for collectors, designers, and institutions.
