Nathan was born in 1988. He has two brothers and a sister. He was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome at the age of 9 after a troubled start to his schooling.

 

Even whilst at Pre-school, Nathan showed a talent for drawing and painting. He also displayed various obsessions for the natural world, including; wildlife, weather, geology and astronomy.

 

Nathan returned to mainstream schooling at the age of 11. He then coped with the huge adjustment, admirably. He has been an inspiration to teachers and peer groups alike.

 

The Internet has opened up a new world for Nathan and his avid interest in the natural world. He has stored up an amazing amount of information gathered over years. As Nathan is also dyslexic, this really is an achievement.

Nathan followed his schooling with 4 years at college, studying Art & Design. He has always been willing to try anything new and soon developed skill in all kinds of art mediums.

 

Conservation societies hold an interest for Nathan and none more so than ‘Sea Shepherds’. The welfare of our oceans and their inhabitants are a major concern for Nathan.

 

Now that Nathan has left college, he hopes to build his talent for art into a career.
