Natalia Kutova

Natalia Kutova is an inspiring self-taught artist based in San Diego, California. Her artistic journey is quite exciting, as she transitioned from being a Fulbright scholar and educator to a celebrated artist. Born and raised in Ukraine, Natalia moved to the United States in 2006 as a Fulbright scholar. She has a multifaceted background, with degrees in Music, Linguistics, and Education. Natalia’s artistic journey began unexpectedly in 2017. The artworks in impasto technique displayed in a local art salon caught Natalia's eye.
