About the artist. Nate Mahoney
Nate Mahoney creates work inspired by dualities. Design and art. Rural and urban. Photography and painting. Analog and digital. The work is centered on compassion for others trying to survive in our complex and inhospitable world. As a queer artist, and urban dweller, Nate reacts to the city with inspired work that communicates connections between people, time, nature, place, and space. Nate’s works often result from a research practice and collaborative process.
Nate received a MFA in Design from California College of the Arts, a MFA in Cinema and Photography from Southern Illinois University, and a BA in Liberal Arts from The Evergreen State College.
Nate lives and works in downtown San Francisco, California.
