Gundagai Pair Print

Hello, I’m Nat, a painter and educator with a passion for building community. I don’t feel calm unless I’ve had my feet grounded and my lungs full of fresh air. That grounded moment – closed-eyed, feeling the comfort and scale of the world – is what I capture in my paintings. Communicating the complexity of nature is at the core of all of my work - as an artist just as much as a neuroscientist, a health consultant, and a science illustrator. Growing up, I was taught the importance of quality and resourcefulness. I’ll always believe in keeping things simple and long lasting, so I work with local, quality goods – canvases that are hand stretched and built from sustainable fibers, materials made with love for the art, paints in their oldest, purest form: oil and pigment. While you’ll mainly see me making paintings and inks, exploring other mediums is a part of my process. Whatever the form, my work focuses on moments that stop your thoughts in their merry tracks. Whether it be a pause for beauty, curiosity or education, I hope they bring you breathing space.
