Nathan Ledyard Art

Visual Art – San Diego

Currently residing in San Diego, CA., Nathan Ledyard creates art depicting waves and ocean scenes using a unique combination of materials and techniques that push beyond the boundaries of two-dimensional painting. Often painting from a surfer's point of view, Nathan's work captures the feeling of being in the water and a part of the sea.  Nathan has developed his artistic style through problem solving and experimentation. Searching for a way to paint thin enough to incorporate the natural wood patterns without sacrificing depth and texture, Nathan discovered that he was able to achieve both by first carving into the wood. This breakthrough led to the discovery of other techniques that focus on three dimensions to create natural shadows and highlights. The resulting works of art are realistic yet surreal, invoking both memories and dreams of the Ocean and surfing.
