Growing up in a creative atmosphere with parents in the art and music business in Nashville, Tn. Nathan Collie’s life was also profoundly influenced by the beauty of nature. His early years were centered around the outdoors, fishing and hunting, often accompanied by his mother as she painted plein air. As he patiently studied the behavior of the natural world and its wildlife, his attention soon began to turn to the camera to record those observations with a deeper appreciation.
Nathan is now working with wildlife stills and birds in particular. Each one is printed using Japanese papers to give texture and emotion, striving to express the Creators tender care for all things great and small.
Other works include Nature films, with a mixture of the natural surroundings put to music. They document all four seasons and encompass the areas of Middle Tennessee, the American West, and Annecy, France. His films have also been created for Radnor Lake State Park as well as the Warner Parks for their Nature Centers and educational videos. Nathan’s work can be found at The Copper Fox Gallery, Leipers Fork, TN.
