Hi, I’m Natalie! I’m an illustrator working in animation and children’s publishing.

I received a BFA in Illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2020. Since then, I’ve worked in TV animation as a background artist and clean-up artist. I’ve also worked as an art educator for children and teens.

My illustrations are inspired by nature and childhood wonder, as well as the children I’ve met throughout my teaching career.

My favorite things to draw are anything with lots of colors, cute animals, girlhood, stories about culture, and stories about nature. I’m always pushing myself to branch out and explore different themes in my work.
