Today, we are glad to introduce you with Adam Nirmaier.
Nirmaier is a self-taught, 29-year-old, High School Art Teacher and freelancer who resides in a rural Wisconsin town 45 minutes from Minneapolis, MN. Adam has been creating custom charcoal portraiture for 10 years and design for a year and a half. As a teacher, he has had numerous award-winning students, was awarded Wisconsin’s “Art Teacher of the Year,” and has also spoken multiple conferences including the “National Art Education Association National Conference” in New York City.
After the passing of his Mother 2 years ago he devoted all
free time outside of learning software like Adobe Illustrator and
recently, Procreate. “Teaching myself Illustrator and Procreate was a way
of grieving from the loss of my Mother. She always wanted me to do more with my
artwork growing up and since her passing, I’ve been more motivated than ever
and focusing on learning and freelancing. To me, this is a passion, but more
importantly, it is a mission for me. A mission to honor my Mom.”
Since May of 2018, he has discovered a new love, lettering,
and custom typography. “I fell in love with this new art form because of
Scotty Russell’s (Founder of @perspectivepodcast) podcast and because of Matt
Dawson(@Staygrayponyboy). I reached out to Matt via Instagram and he gave me so
much value and courage that I knew it was time to share the work I had been
secretly making. I owe it all to those two! They gave me the confidence I
needed during a really hard time of my life. Also, I need to thank my coworker
and mentor Mary Lewien, without her I would truly be lost.”
