In this episode, we interview artist and nurse Nate Lewis. Nate was born and raised in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. He earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from Virginia Commonwealth University, and practiced critical-care nursing in DC-area hospitals for nine years. Nate first started drawing in 2010 during his critical care orientation training. His artistry has only grown since then. His work has been exhibited in  The California African American Museum,  The Yale Center for British Art, The Armory Show, and the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Services just to name a few. Nate’s work is in the public collections of the Baltimore Museum of Art, The Blanton Museum, the Studio Museum in Harlem, Grinnell College Museum of Art and 21c Museum Hotels. 

Much of Nate’s work stems from his medical training as he was influenced, as he says, by the rhythms of people’s lives. 

Nate lives in New York City, where he continues to explore that rhythm through his art. Listen in as we explore this world with him.
