A audio conversation with our featured artist Nathan. Also his digital drawing and animations!

I had to work with whatever materials I had access to, which was sometimes difficult. I had hours on end to work on my pieces, and it game me a lot of time and freedom.

In the midst of a painful experience, I learned how to make real-life bearable through my imagination and art. I’ve kept doing watercolor since I was discharged. It’s made life more colorful (pun intended).
