Nathaniel Skousen

Nathaniel Skousen was always attracted to art. Raised in a house that did not permit a television and instead provided him with many books, Nathaniel was always looking for new things to look at.  Keenly interested in the Impressionists and Finnish realist oil painters, art became an important part of his life. After graduating with a university level art degree he realized that much of his learning needed to be taking place in the studios of famous artists.

In 2015, after taking an academic class in understanding color theory and comparing color charts he fabricated to famous museum artists like William Adolphe Bouguereau and John Singer Sargent, his art mind woke to how colors work in art.

Nathaniel loves exploring new ideas in his art and enjoys all of the aspects of creating.
