Hybrid Tiger Trout Painting

Utah based artist, Brady Nielson, grew up in Utah and began painting and drawing at a young age. He continued improving his artistic talents through high school but put them on hold when he entered college. Over the next decade he worked toward degrees and certificates in several fields including geology, geographic information systems, and mining engineering while taking a couple of art classes along the way. During his time as a student he married and had 3 beautiful children, with another addition arriving just recently. A couple of months before landing his first job as an engineer, his unknowing wife laughed when she caught him binge-watching Bob Ross episodes, as it was the last thing she expected this scientifically-minded, outdoor enthusiast to be interested in. A few months later he started painting again and his wife began to understand his interest in Bob Ross and art as she watched him unveil this hidden talent! He has now been painting professionally for 2 years and enjoys inspiring others with his works of art. He has won several art competitions and awards, as well as multiple prizes including Grand Champion at the 2019 Elko County Fair. He also shows his work at Clearly Nevada, a new local art gallery here in Elko City.
