About
Nathan, a native of Southern California, pursued his studies in Graphic Design and Painting at the Pacific Northwest College of Art, supporting his formative artistic journey as a picture framer. His work has since been showcased in Southern California, Atlanta, Birmingham, Portland, Taos, and Milan, Italy.
Nathan’s work captures the profound connection between nature and the human spirit, using blooming flowers as symbols of personal growth and enlightenment.
Each painting reflects the journey of a seed—enduring darkness and struggle before breaking through into light. This metaphor serves as a reminder that pain and challenges are not obstacles but necessary steps in the process of transformation.
“The silk ribbons gently suspending each flower serve as a metaphor for the delicate balance between holding on and letting go. They symbolize the nurturing aspect of spiritual awakening, where the individual is both grounded in their own strength and gently lifted toward their potential. This tender relationship between the flower and ribbon reflects the guidance and care needed as we navigate the complexities of growth and self-discovery.”
