ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This is my first foray into painting animals, something I would definitely like to paint again, a very different learning curve to previous work. I was given the round board and the idea sprung from there more or less instantly. A great bit of fun.

Natalie started painting professionally shortly after moving to Shropshire in 2003, following her completion of a Fine Art Degree and a post-grad in Stage and Set design. Growing up in Cheshire, Natalie had a love of drawing from an early age. When her parents opened a florist shop, any unsold flowers were taken home and that’s when she started to draw them; mostly to scale and in coloured pencil-but that was the moment! From sketch pad drawings as a child, Natalie progressed to painting oversize oils of sumptuous, magnified flowers. She believes the scale of her work was influenced by her time working as a scenic artist – a role she relished, and which took her around the world. Current pieces incorporate story-like elements, ideas gained from dilapidated country houses seen while out on walks with her dog and the curiosities she finds. These help to create a visual narrative. Natalie aims to convey the feelings and sense of pleasure she feels while being surrounded by nature, even the simplest of things stir emotions. She wants the viewer to have an experience that encompasses sensations beyond that of the image itself. Therefore, the scale of her work is important. By enlarging the scale, the nature of the subject is intensified, and enables the viewer to become surrounded by the beauty or whimsy of the subject. Natalie’s technique had developed through intense observation and trial and error. There is always room for development, and she enjoys this process of challenging herself. Her work has currently been shown in Tokyo, Singapore, London, New York, and Australia, as well as in Shropshire. She had an article published in Artists and Illustrator’s magazine in 2007, Shropshire Living Magazine 2021 and Collect Art magazine in 2023 and has delivered several masterclasses as the prestigious West Dean College, in Chichester. All prices exclude any import taxes just to be clear.
