Featured Artists
Nate Michaels
Since 2015, Nate has been a full-time artist. He traveled nationwide, showcasing his vibrant, pop culture-inspired art at comic conventions and art fairs. When COVID-19 halted live events in 2020, he pivoted to commissioned pieces, expanding into large-scale acrylics and popular Sharpie marker drawings. In 2021, Nate settled in Kentucky’s Lake Cumberland area, continuing to create commissioned art for collectors across the country. In 2024, he was featured in Kentucky Monthly Magazine’s 2024–2025 Gift Guide, praised for portraits that “resonate with raw emotion and introspection” through bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors. Driven by the emotional impact of his work, Nate aims to expand this connection in 2025 and beyond, creating art that moves and connects with a broader audience.
