My name is Natalie, and I am from Tulsa, Oklahoma. I received my bachelors degree from Baylor University in December of 2022, where I studied literature, legal studies, and painting. In the fall of 2023, I will begin studying law at the University of Oklahoma, but until then I will paint as much as I possibly can. I am passionate about inclusion, advocacy, education, and painting! A formative part of my life has been spent working in inclusion ministry, where I have been able to live life with people of all abilities.

I believe that my passions and experiences shape the person I am and the work I create. I specifically love realism—capturing a human person, their essence. It is the most invigorating and rewarding work to me as a painter.
