About

Hello! 

LD Nehls is a muralist and illustrator based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Blending imagery from the natural world with abstract "macro-landscapes," Nehls creates vibrant, playful paintings and murals that spark curiosity and invite viewers to explore the world within each piece. 

Nehls’ murals, which can be found across Ohio, Kentucky, and New Mexico, celebrate the local flora and fauna near each site, drawing on research and conversations with botanists, biologists, farmers, and neighbors who are passionate about preserving and protecting wildlife. Her work celebrates public spaces and our deep connection to the natural world by highlighting the often-overlooked mosses, lichens, insects, and other tiny neighbors that surround us every day.
