As a physiology major and math minor from the University of Washington, Nathaniel's style is heavily influenced both by biological forms and by mathematics.  "There is an inherent beauty in nature simply because of the way it adheres to fibonacci ratios and other visually-pleasing mathematical forms," says Nathaniel, "but I also enjoy creating purely abstract forms that embody these basic mathematical principles.  I've been told that my abstract work looks a bit like a modern interpretation of art deco.  I take this as a huge complement as art deco relies very heavily upon those fractal ratios that make forms naturally pleasing to the human eye."
