Art was privileged to supply underwater video sequences for an episode of the popular National Geographic program: Hooked - Extreme Angling.  The episode originally aired on Sunday, October 18th, 2009.  Art's video, featuring various shots of striped bass in action was used in the final segment about Paul Melnyk and his extreme "skishing" technique in the waters off Montauk, Long Island, NY.  Check local listings for re-runs!

Art Nelson Paints Mural for Deal Elementary School Cafeteria - November 2008

Deal Elementary School students were recently treated to a special work from Art Nelson.  A lively mural depicting two dolphins chasing bait fish in a circular pattern against a light-blue sea background now adorns the cafeteria.

Painted on four carefully measured and trimmed pieces of plywood, the installation required precision placement and the help of friends with the assembly.  This is the largest piece that Art has ever created.

The feeding frenzy is appropriate to the location, as lunches are distributed to hungry students through this counter window.  The Deal School mascot also happens to be a dolphin.  Art's grandson, AJ, is a student here, and is very proud of his Pop!

DATES: August 1 through September 11, 2008
