HI, I’M NATALY, AND I MAKE ART TO DARE YOU TO LIVE BOLDLY!
I didn’t pick up a paintbrush until I was 40 years old.
Before that, I spent two decades building a life that looked “successful” on the outside—immigrating to the U.S. as a refugee at 13, becoming a tech executive, founding three companies, writing bestselling books, and speaking on big stages to help others thrive.
But I was ignoring a part of me that had been quietly tugging at my soul for years: the artist.
It took burning out—and letting go of everything I thought I should do—for me to finally say yes to that voice inside. And when I did, everything changed.
Painting cracked me open. It brought me back to life.
It reminded me that the parts of ourselves we’re most afraid to share are often the ones that hold our greatest power.
My art is an invitation to live bolder.
Each piece I create here to remind you:
You are the artist of your own life.
You don’t have to fit in to belong.
You don’t have to wait to feel alive.
Why eyes?
Every one of my artworks has eyes in it.
I didn’t plan it. The eyes just came. As soon as my brush or oil stick hits the canvas, they appear.
Eyes are how we see the world and how we see ourselves. They are windows into possibility.
In my paintings, eyes are an invitation:
To see yourself more clearly.
To imagine bolder possibilities.
To recognize the truth of who you already are—brilliant, multidimensional, and full of unique gifts waiting to be unleashed.
