MY FOCUS OF
INTEREST IS…

My work explores how art connects, educates, and questions cultural and political boundaries, shaping new narratives through research and creative collaboration. I examine how artistic practices emerge as a response to political upheaval, fostering cross-cultural dialogue and resistance. By analyzing the intersection of aesthetics and socio-political movements, I explore how art crosses national borders, creating spaces for engagement, tolerance, and ethical exchange.

WHAT PEOPLE
ARE SAYING

As Chair of the Education Committee of the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, Florida, I have had the pleasure of introducing Natalie before her presentations to her fellow Docents. Natalie has always not only chosen her subjects well, but presented them in a manner which enhanced the audiences’ knowledge. The presentations are always clear and understandable. As well, when appropriate, the philosophical context within which the subject matter is best understood is woven into the presentation. Natalie is a welcome resource to the Docent committee of the Museum of Fine Arts.
