Natalie’s first formal arts education began in 2008 in Chiang Mai, Thailand. She was mentored by a local artist, Fang Wongmung where she learnt the fundamentals of portraiture and the unique charcoal photorealism style.
After returning to Perth she attended Applecross SHS where she was chosen for Special Arts Program and later that year (2010) won the Youth Award at the Atwell Community Arts Centre.
