Nate Olin

“My entire life I have made art. Mine has been a life in which self-expression, communication and the working out of ideas, on a surface that will be looked at by others. The odds that any one of us will support ourselves exclusively through art are low indeed. Some of us have no other choice, we must make art or risk losing an integral piece of ourselves. I have been lucky in many ways. I am one of the ones who must make art.”
