Nate Lewis (b. 1985 in Beaver Falls, PA) explores history through patterns, textures, and rhythm, creating meditations of celebration and lamentations. He earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Virginia Commonwealth University and practiced critical-care nursing in Washington, D.C.–area hospitals for nine years before pursuing a career in art. Lewis’ first artistic pursuit was playing the violin in 2008, followed by drawing in 2010. In 2017, he moved to New York City. Lewis’ work has been exhibited at the California African American Museum, the Studio Museum in Harlem, and the Yale Center for British Art, and is in the public collections of the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Blanton Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, and the Brooklyn Museum, among others. Lewis has taken part in several residencies, including Pioneer Works, Fountainhead, Dieu Donne and the Art Hx Artist-in-Residence at Princeton University.
