Nathan Orosco, a Chicano artist, was born in Odessa, TX and received his B.A. in Studio Art at The University of Texas of the Permian Basin in 2000 and his M.F.A in Sculpture at Washington State University in 2002. He is currently an Instructor of Art at Mt. Hood Community College where he teaches sculpture, drawing and design. Nathan Orosco’s work has been exhibited nationally including exhibits at the Museum of Arts Culture in Spokane WA and the Mexic-Arte Museum in Austin, TX.
Listen to find out how a boy from an industrial town found a way to break out of the laborer mold and pave his own path. Listen to find out how you could trace your lineage way back to Meso-American peoples and to realize that we were here before the European conquests. That makes this earth below your feet your earth. You are free to roam and discover. Find out how he creates art that pays homage to his past and homage to the ways of his Native, Indio ancestors.
Quote of the show: “Artists understand the way people visually feel and how those visual things can impact the psyche”
