Laytonville, California
Born and raised in rural Northern California, Natalie grew up spending every extra moment horseback. From horse shows to rodeo and even in the classroom as a member of her high school FFA horse judging team. After she graduated, she met and married her husband Gabe and together they have their two sons and a small herd of beef cattle.
It wasn’t until after the birth of her second son that she enrolled in a ceramic sculpting class. From that point on Natalie began experimenting with different mediums and ultimately found pastels. Now she enjoys spending her days creating pieces that reflect the rural community and ranches in her area.
