Nathan Bertling (b.1974) studied visual arts and communications at Furman University, graduating cum laude in 1996.
From 2002-2008, he joined the atelier of American master Benjamin F. Long, IV in Asheville, NC. There Bertling studied
drawing and painting in the Old Master tradition, teaching portrait drawing at the school over his final two years.
Recently, he was named a Living Artist by the Art Renewal Center, and in 2020 he was selected as a Semi-Finalist in the
ARC’s 15th Annual International Salon. As a private tutor, Bertling shares his knowledge and practice with students in his
home studio in Greenville, SC. His works hang in numerous private collections.
Earlier this March, Bertling had his debut solo show in NYC at Dacia Gallery, where he is now represented. In April, he and
his wife Hallie, a children’s book author-illustrator, attended an artist’s residency in Roskilde, Denmark. Partnered as
emerging artists, they are excited to continue exploring the world as they engage it with their work.
