About Natalie

As long as I can remember I’ve had a colouring pencil or pen in my hand. My main inspiration comes from absorbing the everyday; from commuting on the Dart to the beauty of nature, to the events and people who connect us collectively.

I began my creative career as a theatre set designer and my work was seen in The Galway Arts Festival. I studied Model Making in DIADT. In recent years, I have veered towards mixing photographs and graphics and taught myself Adobe illustrator and my world suddenly became so much brighter. I now work as Creative Lead for Dubray in Dublin. 2022 saw my first solo and collective exhibitions.

I spend as much time on my art as I possibly can and music is a big influence on the images I create. I love walking through Dublin city, taking Dart journeys, dancing to hip hop and UKG. My biggest creative influences come from eras and movements like 70’s New York and Bauhaus, and artists like Bowie, Edward Hopper, Marina Abramovich, David Hockney, Frida Kahlo, Tim Walker and Alexander McQueen. And musical influences include everything from Goldie to Bikini Kill. You might find me on a visit to The V&A Museum, one of my favourite places to explore.
