Nate Harris is a NYC based artist who oscillates between printmaking, woodworking, and painting mediums. As a formally trained graphic designer, Nate has had the unique opportunity to work in commercial mediums such as illustration and typography while maintaining and often combining his personal art practice. Nate’s work is often influenced by process, material exploration, observations of shape and color, repetition, and personal narrative. As a commercial illustrator, Nate has worked on projects for numerous clients such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Target, Warby Parker, and Pelican Books. He employs the same artistic integrity and draftsmanship to his commercial work as his art, thus maintaining a truly discernible graphic language.
