Natalie was born in 1965 in Montreal, Quebec, spent fourteen years in Alberta, and now resides in Vancouver, British Columbia. Passionate about drawing from an early age, she came to realize that her art brought joy to others!
Winning the 1995 Elvis Art Competition in Graceland sparked Natalie's ambition to further her art career, and she received the honour of studying oil painting with master painter and professor, Aikeng Chen.
Natalie's paintings can now be found in homes and businesses throughout Canada, and the United States. When asked what her goal as an artist is, she enthusiastically replies, "My goal is to capture a feeling or moment in time in such a way that you can almost see that breeze blowing through the trees, or feel the warmth that the sun radiates. My deepest desire is to present a piece that touches your soul as it does mine."
