“When I first started painting fifteen years ago, I’d paint knowing how much I missed my family in Sydney and on the South Coast. They are my life. When I’m told how beautiful the paintings are, I know in part that it is the essence of my family glowing out of the paintings”. All of the art work I produce are done on a small kitchen bench surrounded by my children, food and just the usual. I had a studio once in Bowraville but here I felt isolated from the daily bustle of the kitchen, that is the hub of my home and where everything that is a part of my daily life goes on.
Natalie’s artworks are beautifully conceived paintings that challenge the viewer to really experience her interior world. Viewers are mesmerised by the layers of meaning, texture, colour and design. Instantly people want to touch and revel in those perfect ‘dots’.
“Like my music and my connection to the ocean, painting is like therapy, It’s always fun. It’s something I do with much enthusiasm like I am ready to jump out of my skin and create. Painting has given me a good deal of self-discipline as well as learning patience. It makes me feel proud too, especially as I am a self- taught artist.”
Natalie’s paintings are held in private collections in Australia & overseas.
