A Fun Fact About Nat

Did you know Nat has six wisdom teeth? That’s two extra! It’s no surprise we think she’s extra wise!

Nat’s Art Practice

Nat is a mixed media artist who primarily works with ceramics and acrylics. She loves incorporating natural elements into her art, such as clay and botanical materials like dried flowers and leaf imprints. Nat uses mostly midfire and stoneware clay for hand-building, slab rolling, and slip casting, often painting intricate designs with underglazes on greenware and creating naturally occurring leaf impressions. She also experiments with new materials, including glazes—most recently 24k gold lustre on porcelain earrings made from molds—and explores resin, textiles, and edited reference images to create unique designs for her paintings.

What Inspires Nat

Nature is Nat’s greatest muse. Whether it’s plants, flowers, or earthy textures, she draws endless inspiration from the world around her. For portraits, she loves exploring a variety of styles—from geometric and abstract designs to hyperrealism.

“I love too many things and can be inspired by anything!”
