J.B. Nearsy

J.B. Nearsy is a self-taught mixed media painter, printmaker, sculptor, designer, and experimental artist working and living in St. Louis, Missouri. His first lessons with art as an immersive experience were learned through graffiti in Southern California. Graffiti art taught the artist lessons unique to contemporary movements such as color relationships, abstraction within set parameters, and painting on a large scale. These learning experiences continue to indirectly shape and influence his work to this day.

After a university career that began in art, Nearsy moved on to receive degrees in psychology and accounting. He continued creating art on commission, for sale, and for shows over the span of his college life and 6 years following as an accountant.

Nearsy made the transition to an artist by profession in 2015. He has exhibited widely across the United States, as well as internationally.
