Born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1980, Sean Nash received his MFA in painting and printmaking from Yale University and a BFA from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. His work often references his experiences with food fermentation, gardening, and the natural world to illustrate the speculative field of trans* ecology. He has held solo shows at Kate Werble Gallery, New York; TOPS Gallery, Memphis; Volland Foundation, Alma, Kansas; the Kniznick Gallery, Waltham, Massachusetts; Plug Projects, Kansas City, Missouri; and Black Ball Projects, New York. In 2023, his work was shown at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art in Overland Park, Kansas, in conjunction with the Charlotte Street Fellows Award. Nash’s individual and collaborative writing on art, fermentation, and queer and trans* identity has been published in many scholarly publications, including TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly. Nash lives and works in Kansas City, Kansas.
