Nathaniel Mather Art

Nathaniel Mather is a professional painter whose works evoke early 19th century primitive art. He was born and raised in California and received his education from California Institute of the Arts and Art Center College of Design. Since the early days of his painting his works were admired by many due to their sophistication that are emphatically contemporary. Mather’s works address his longing for a spiritual connection with God and an ongoing relationship and dialog with him. He wants to reflect God’s wonder and grace while wrestling with daily struggles and pain. Mather is processing what it looks like to paint work that is true, beautiful and restorative. He puts God first in his works and has found that an attitude of anger and disconnection does not enable him to produce work that satisfies him. His paintings are done in water medium materials usually on canvas or board. Along with his fine art, he is an illustrator working for such clients as American Lawyer Magazine, Johns Warner Bros, Brown University, Reprise Records, Liberty Records, Hopkins University, Coast Magazine and many more. Mather is represented by Art Licensing, Inc in Vermont. He lives and works in Nashville TN. He has discovered his own vocabulary of images that represent the world around him. To him, birds and flowers represent human characteristics and emotions. The donkey and horse are a common image in his work, suggesting the beauty and strength of God.
