​Hello there! I'm Natasha, and I live with my family on Kodiak Island in the Gulf of Alaska. I can't escape Alaska's influence on my work: coastal Alaska can be gray and green for long periods of time, but when it's sunny and bright here, it's unlike any place on earth! I delight in capturing those sudden moments in my work so that my art brings a happy burst of color to people's lives.

I love working at markets, meeting locals and visitors, and making connections with the people who enjoy my designs.  In addition to selling my art independently, I work with Taku Graphics and Alaska Souvenir. Five of my pieces are in the permanent collection at the Baranov Museum.  

​When I'm not creating, I'm often hiking with the dog, cooking with friends & family, or dreaming of Italy. We just painted our house two shades of blueberry, and every time I drive up, I am happy to be home.
