Artist Statement

Anthony Nash was born September 11, 1996 in Milwaukee, WI. He is a design studies student graduating in the spring of 2020 from the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee with a Bachelor’s in Art. Throughout his education, he has spent time developing his craft and participating in various local exhibits while actively involving himself with ArtsEco opportunities which is an organization for teachers that allow him to engage in professional art and art integrated experiences with other educators from the Milwaukee area. With opportunities working at Discovery World and UWM College for Kids, he has also had the experiences of educating students ages K-12 in art and design related classes. Currently, Anthony invests his own creative time into operating his own small Milwaukee-based business, Feel Good Milwaukee, which sells shirts and other merchandise consisting of original designs inspired by the city he lives in. Notably, the artist and his business were selected UWM CEO Student Entrepreneur of the Year for the spring of 2020. Anthony is currently using his business to bring awareness to existing charitable opportunities and highlight small acts of kindness in the 414 in an effort to foster more positivity and hope within a city otherwise riddled with crime, segregation and poverty. After graduation, Anthony aspires to continue producing designs both through his own business as well as through a more established design company. Additionally, he intends on pursuing a career in teaching art by completing his art education degree in the near future.
