Flow (2017) Pintura por Nathan Altier

Born in 1972, I’m a GenXer from rural southern Maryland.  I spent most of my childhood visually recreating anything that interested me.  Name it, and I probably attempted to interpret it in some art form or another.  That led me to an A.A. in visual communication. My early adulthood was spent earning a B.A. in computer art in the starving artist world of Atlanta, Georgia.  Now, a builder and married father of two teenagers, with a working homestead, I reside in the Shenandoah Valley of West Virginia.  And just like it did when I was a kid, my environment has greatly influenced my artwork. Over the years, my creative media have varied, but the medium that has captured my muse has been acrylic on canvas.  Never wanting to waste my formal education, I usually conceptualize ideas digitally, then recreate them on canvas, using both on-canvas blending and dry-brush techniques. My strength is portraits.  However, the challenge of reflective surfaces, the beautiful complexity of flowers, and the visceral themes of patriotism always deliver surprising joy.  Art is a fascinating balance of dreaming and reality, in which I am convinced, there’s always a challenge, a spiritual connection, and a life lesson to be learned. I hope you’re able to embrace that same experience.
