Natalie has always loved painting. She painted while earning her B.A. from Elmhurst College in Illinois; she painted while working as a textile designer in New York City for such iconic brands as Martha Stewart and Gap; and she continues to paint to this day, into the night sometimes, both for her work designing prints for a major retailer and for her own pure passion and pleasure. When she is not creating she is hiking the woods of Wisconsin and chasing her 3 kids.
