Nathan lived a short life and passed away at a very young 34 years of age. This site is a tribute to a truly creative person who wrote the following:
Art, for myself, is expression, meditation, intimacy and discovery to form anesthetic and eye catching pieces.
My goal with each piece is simple, while simultaneously incorporating complexity.
Embodying movement, energy, depth, detail, and texture, I also maintain traditional necessities for balance.
I began painting in the middle of October 2013, at the age of twenty seven. Immediately the flow from brush to canvas became a great part of my life. My need and desire for creativity knew me much better than I knew myself. Canvases began coming to life, recognizing texture, detail, color, expression; never limited.
I use acrylics the most in my work which embody, a majority of the time, the elements necessary to present my intention of expressionism in each piece. I will go to oils a lot of the time for transparency and layering, portraiture, and landscapes. I use pastels, charcoal, and watercolor paints given different intentions on visual appearance, markers, pen / ink, and graphite.
I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. With my 3 brothers and sister, my mom, Sarah, and dad, Rick. I moved to North Carolina at the age of 10 where I was raised thereafter. Frequently moving, unable to stay still. I enlisted into the United States Army in 2008 until in 2012 my desire to withdrawal became necessary. A creative build made it’s way through my cells and started pouring out via poetry during my later years in service. It was in late 2013 that visual fine art found its way, and determined one of my great purposes for living. I am known for texture, color, painterly, expressionism, although never limited. Constantly finding how to better my pieces.
“I paint because my inner most world becomes the stage with which I can observe and learn to understand.”
