About Natalie

I am an artist and illustrator living and working in San Francisco. I primarily work from observation, weaving whimsy and nostalgia into scenes from everyday life. I love capturing architecture, cityscapes, food, and people experiencing moments of joy.

I work at events as a live illustrator, offer custom illustration commissions, and teach in-person classes and workshops.

I am also available for content creation and engagement/portrait photoshoots.
