THE ARTIST
HANS NELSON
Artist, husband, father, friend, and Arizona Native. With more than 15 years experience as a professional artist and an BFA in sculpture from Arizona State University, I am technically and creatively able to accomplish practically any art endeavor for you.
I have experience in 2D Design, 2D Art, Hand Lettering, Painting, Woodworking, Welding, Carving, Foundry, light construction and more… But it all starts with you...You have a picture in your head - I’ll be the vehicle to put it into motion and give it shape. It’s a collaboration.
Art is a Powerful Tool of Communication...Use it
Art is a powerful tool of communication that has been around almost as long as people have. Complicated ideas can be distilled into images for easier under-standing and conversely, any straight-forward phrase or plain text can be made beautiful to draw in the viewer and capture their attention.
Handmade Art Delivers your Message & Gives it a Pulse
Hand made art delivers your message and gives it a pulse. Artwork made by hand has warmth, it has character, it has personality and it’s one-of-a-kind. There’s no shortage of apps or digital tools to create signage these days, but anyone can do that - and you’re not just anyone. If you want a cold, mass-produced digital look to your project - that’s your prerogative. I think your idea deserves better.
Respect, Integrity and Excellent Communication
I take this business seriously and I enjoy doing it. Also, because I respect that your idea matters. Whether this is for your home or your business - it matters to you. It’s your idea, it’s personal. Because it’s personal to you, it needs to be treated with respect. I’ll get to know you and establish a rapport based on that respect. Then we’ll create your idea together. I pride myself on my ability to communicate and on my integrity. Almost every one of my clients were referred by other happy clients.

"His quality of work is excellent and his attention to detail on point. Most customers assume the art/text is computer generated because it is so carefully crafted. I can trust that once provided the job description, it will get done without any follow up needed on my part. Best of all, Hans is enjoyable to work with. He makes the process from design to implementation easy and is an excellent communicator along the way. We look forward to working with Hans for years to come."

It’s beautifully done and it brings me so much joy. Hans is talented, professional, and genuinely friendly. And, he created a piece of art that makes me feel like I’ve arrived home."
