Nathaniel Allenby

Nathaniel Allenby is a performance and visual artist who has lived a unique life. Originally from Aurora, Oregon; he grew up on a farm, and focused on math, history, geography, the sciences, farming, sports, and gaming. It wasn't until after his best friend Tyger Pliska taught him to juggle in 2006 while bicycling throughout Europe that he found a passion for an art form. He spent 6 years on a bicycle pedaling over 28,000 miles across 10 countries and 30 states while honing his craft. He is a professional circus entertainer and visual artist. He can juggle up to 8 balls and is training to walk on 11 foot stilts. As a world traveler he has had unusual perspectives and experiences; he especially loves nature and images of unspoiled natural beauty. After becoming a circus entertainment professional, he decided to improve his other art skills. His style is defined by geometric structures, incorporates culturally significant and ancient symbols, and is primarily colored pencil or acrylic paint. He owns two companies; Allenby Art and Cirque Quirk. He is an author of a book about his incredible experiences while traveling. Show less «
