Although a contemporary artist by definition, Nathan Peckham leans upon the teachings of his Elders and chains them to a rich mixture of modern media and methods to give life to his unique brand of artwork and design. Nathan endeavours to reach his audience by showcasing the many facets of Australia’s rich indigenous culture and in particular, the depth of the culture specific to the Dubbo region which is his ancestral homeland.

As direct descendants of the Tubbah-gah clan within the Wiradjuri nation of New South Wales, the Peckham family is dedicated to the advancement and recognition of Aboriginal art and culture. It is Nathan’s tacit objective to continue that undertaking by sharing his artistic talents and understanding.

For the past 25 years, Nathan has been slowly gathering knowledge and skills and applying them to his craft. Over that time, sales of his work have proudly reached all parts of the world, while within Australia he has worked with numerous businesses, government organisations, universities, schools, and community groups, continuing the work of his family by sharing his art.

For the future, Nathan strives to continue evolving his style and methods, to ensure he stays on the cutting edge of contemporary Aboriginal art and design.
