who is she?

Meet Nel, the creative force behind "Nestled with Nel"—the artistic alter ego of Janel, an Atlanta-based artist and designer. I love combining my paintings with vintage frames to create something special and timeless. When I'm not working on my art, I'm busy being a boy mom, making fun memories with my husband, and chasing around our two mischievous cats.

I’ve always had a thing for old stuff. When I was younger, I was really into Lolita fashion, bands like Malice Mizer, and classical music. That love for unique details still shows up in my art and in the antiques I pick up for my home. I’m also fascinated by landscapes from places I dream of visiting one day, which often inspire my paintings. And let's not forget my unapologetic love for tacos—because even in a world of fine art, some things are just too good to resist! 🌮
