Nathan Christopher McBridge is a Painter located in Broward County Florida. Since a young age he has always had a gift to create things not just bigger than himself, but louder. Growing up as an introvert, he often keeps most of his words to himself, bottling up his creativity behind a mask of solitude. He tried to find his purpose through many activities as a way of exploring the world through his eyes. Finding his outlet, as well as his voice. One of the most prominent outlets being football. Nathan played football from ages 6-18. Learning traits like discipline, integrity, accountability, and patience, encouraged him to become a better man, a better brother, and a better son. But most of all, a better artist. Balancing the emotional weight of being a student athlete, Nathan used art as a way of breaking free from traditional norms and inspiring the ones around him. As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, Nathan understood at an early age that he has been called to something greater. Finding his purpose through art helped him understand that it is okay to not be perfect, but to know we have been created in God’s Image. Through his art, he explores the ordinary and the extraordinary, tackling complex themes such as love,Confidence,freedom,Pain, and much more. He makes art that people don’t just see, but feel. One of the most powerful messages seen throughout his art is his ability to let everyone know that this is only the beginning of his legacy.
