Nathaniel Smith
bio
Nathaniel Smith has always been into aliens since he saw a UFO from his backyard when he was a kid. There were lights of different colors, and they were moving erratically from side to side, high up in the sky. Then it slowly flew away. Aliens appear frequently in Nathaniel’s more representational artworks, alongside planets, garden gnomes, kittens, and pumpkins. All things that could also be spotted from one’s backyard. Nathaniel likes to go to the park and the library, and he checks out books on aliens. Nathaniel has a strong sense of color, and he intuitively layers marks in colored pencil, crayon, and pastel that bring a sense of abstract expressionism to his interest in UFOs, monsters, and kittens.
