Kim Nelson (7 March 1958 – 12 August 2015) was an Australian artist. He lived and worked in the foothills of the Brindabella mountain range, near the Australian National Capital, Canberra. Themes such as the recurring ‘Red Shawl’ and other spiritually suggestive motifs put his artwork firmly in the field of Symbolism though his style does range from classical to the abstract.
