Nathan Walsh Paintings

About Nathan Walsh the artist.

Biography

Since a young age, my imagination has inspired me to create art that is aesthetically appealing as well as meaningful to me and those around me. Building on this foundation, I further grew as an artist studying at the University of Minnesota where my work was recognized through scholarships and awards. My academic work consisted of mostly realistic/figurative paintings with interlaced with dark or humorous social commentary. Since graduation, graphic design has been my occupation but I continue to put much of my energy into painting, hoping to make a career doing what I love most.

Artist Statement

I feel that I am an artist with broad range. Over the years I have employed my drawing and painting skills to create a diverse body of work that demonstrates a flexibility of style as well as technical control. My paintings vary from photo-realisms to bold landscapes to strange surrealisms. I have been told that I have a flare for turning the mundane into something unique and thought-provoking. Currently I have been focusing on allowing my own signature style to come through my work naturally. It is my goal to create paintings that will be recognized as "Nathan Walsh originals."
