Nathaniel J Mather

From apples to bromeliads, still life to landscapes, the dominant theme in the work of Nathaniel Mather is color. "The art of painting is as if I'm standing at a window, it is a reflection of myself and gives me insight into a new world. The process of making art, enjoying the color, texture, shapes and fantastic creatures God has created is exciting and inspiring." Mather's enthusiasm is reflected in the joyful designs he creates.

A native of California, Nathaniel Mather attended California Institute of the Arts and Art Center College of Design. While at California Arts, he studied under the nationally known artists Emerson Wolfer, Jim Morphesis and Paul Brock. Concurrent with his studies, Mather worked as a freelance illustrator and designer. This background is evident in his animated objects and colorful images. Having painted professionally for over 20 years, Mather's original works can be found in numerous private and public collections. Currently, Nathaniel Mather lives and works in Brentwood, Tennessee.
