A native of Ukraine, Nataliya now enjoys living and working in the Washington DC area. Many of my art ideas and color combinations come from travel memories, imagination, and texture experimentation.

 

She is a self-taught mixed media artist and a colorist. She is a well-recognized artist at:

Her work was on public display at The Federal Reserve, DC (Private collection/viewing) and Ebenezers Coffeehouse on Capitol Hill. She is a longtime supporter of the Sitar Arts Center that provides artistic opportunities for children in Washington DC.

 

Nataliya has "earned" recognition in the DC arts community as the Metro Girl for her special project dedicated to the history of the Metro Rail System of Washington D.C. and was published in Washington Times. In 2014, she received a Merit Award at the juried submission and was awarded a year membership at the Art League, Torpedo Factory, Alexandria, VA.
