Nathaniel J. Moody is a visual artist whose work explores themes of place, memory, and connection. He lives and works on unceded Wabenaki land (so-called Vermont). Born in 1977 to a working-class family in New Hampshire, he developed a passion for drawing at an early age and has pursued a lifelong journey in the arts. Moody earned a BFA from the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University. He served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Tanzania, an experience that broadened his perspective on culture, place, and storytelling. His work is evolving as he deepens his exploration of landscapes, history, and personal narrative through painting.
After six years of yurt living, Moody now makes his home on a nonprofit community farm along the West River (Wantastiquet), where he works as a farmer and CSA Coordinator alongside his partner, the farm’s co-director and founder. His creative practice is deeply informed by his surroundings, blending personal history with the landscapes that shape his experience. The cycles of the land, the interplay of labor and renewal, and the act of cultivating a sense of place all echo in his paintings, reinforcing his exploration of belonging and connection.
