about me

i’m natalie, a figurative painter, ceramicist, and aspiring curator from nyc!

my interests center around human nature and sensuality, exploring how emotions, interpersonal relationships, and personal histories are reflected in the body. i am most drawn to painting and ceramics for the way they respond to the movement and impact of my body, allowing me to imprint on them my place in the world. Conveying my feelings and experience invites the viewer into their own vulnerability.

Drawing inspiration from philosophy, mythology, literature, and music, i translates feelings into form and color. Hellenistic Greek sculpture, Egon Schiele, John Singer Sargent, and Peter Paul Rubens, as well as contemporary artists like Oleksii Shcherbak, Grayson Perry, and Janine Antoni, inspire and influence my work.

in 2026, i’m set to receive my BFA in Visual and Critical Studies from the School of Visual Arts.

last year, i was a Summer Resident at the New York Academy of Art, and also co-founded Common Ground Collective: an organization that supports emerging artists by providing exhibition opportunities and career workshops that facilitate connection and community. i discovered my passion for curation after organizing my own group show at SVA, and have the pleasure of carrying that love into my curatorial role at CGC as well.
