About me

Hi! I’m Natalie a woodblock printmaker inspired by the sea, my garden, the weather, trees, beauty, and the change of seasons.

I live in Leeds, West Yorkshire with my husband and 2 children. I’m blessed to have a small studio at the end of my garden that we built together.

Often I feel like I’m playing catchup, currently I’m working on a print that I started in the summer (it’s now January). I find it encouraging looking out of my studio window that my garden will look like this again in May when the summer comes. The seasons are always changing, as an artist I capture a snapshot of a particular moment. As I see that image (moment) through to a completed print, the world has had many more beautiful moments that I want to capture. I’m learning to be content to finish one idea before starting the next, and be ok with the many other moments I haven’t captured yet, and the many more that I’ll never have the time to capture.
