About the artist

Born in 1971 in San Francisco, Amy Nelder paints “Pop Trompe L’oeil” canvases. Employing exquisite realism, she infuses au courant imagery to celebrate domestic moments or to convey messages of contemporary socio-political import.

Nelder studied at the University of California at Berkeley and the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Early in her career, she was the Forensic Artist for the San Francisco Police Department and the Medical Examiner’s Office.

Current and recent exhibitions: the de Young Museum, Museo d'arte de Chianciano (Tuscany), London Biennale, San Francisco Art Fair with Chloe Gallery, Tambaran 2 Gallery. Previous exhibitions: SITE Santa Fe, Cape Cod Museum of Art, Haggin Museum, Walt Disney Family Museum, and Blue Line Arts.

Her work is in numerous national and international collections and commissioned murals are on display in San Francisco municipal buildings.
