Floral mural by Nate Mayes in Los Angeles

When I was young, I developed a passion for creating. My goal as an artist is to boldly display life on earth, unveiled. As an artist, I express how people feel emotionally, spiritually, and even physically. With my subject matter, I shine a light on members of society who are often marginalized and oppressed. I want the world to see and feel the sadness and pain that can come from the damaging constructs of our society. I believe a world without love is a world without purpose, a world that will only lead to pain and turmoil. Despite the disparity one may experience in life, I believe there is hope. I am grateful for the hope and joy we may obtain through the visual arts. My areas of experience include but are not limited to: mural painting, graffiti, oil painting, watercolor painting, portraiture, digital painting, graphic design, and sculpture. I love working on large scale murals more than anything else. The bigger the canvas, the better! I have completed many murals with various mediums such as acrylic wall paint, and spray paint.
