The Artist
“She did everything first. Then she painted.”
Natalie Dyer trained at the School of Graphic Design in Sydney, built a career in advertising, raised four children, and taught art along the way. She wore every hat life could offer, and discovered through all of it that the canvas was always where she most wanted to be.
When she finally gave fine art her full attention, the world noticed.

25 years
Australian gallery exhibitions from the early 1990s through to 2008. A national circuit of collectors who recognised something distinctive in her work.
225 original paintings completed for The Richardson, a five-star boutique hotel in Perth, finishing in 2006. A project that taught her to master the palette knife and directly inspired the French Connection series.
For 13 years, Natalie showed her work at Eumundi Markets, Australia's most visited artisan market, with over 1.6 million visitors each year. Such was the demand, she would often take commissions on works already sold, recreating and personalising them especially for the new collector.
People who value art don't choose it to fill a spot on the wall. They choose art they can relate to, art that reflects who they are and says something true about the way they see the world.
Then Singapore, Malaysia, and the world.

“Invited to paint on stage with Jimmy Choo.”
In 2011, Natalie was invited as guest of honour to the Malaysian International Shoe Festival in Kuala Lumpur, for the unveiling of Jimmy Choo's brand new Couture Collection. Her painting was danced around by the performers before him, and she signed the work in front of Jimmy Choo himself, creating a personal gift for the designer.
It was Ode To Art, Singapore's leading gallery at Marina Bay Sands, Raffles City and Kuala Lumpur, who had brought Natalie over to perform a series of live painting events on their behalf. Then came the international cruise ships. From 2010 until COVID stopped them sailing, Natalie regularly joined the world's leading luxury cruise lines as Artist in Residence. Six to nine weeks at a time, often back-to-back voyages, presenting her work to thousands of collectors in every corner of the earth.
Collectors in America, Canada, Switzerland, England, Singapore, New Zealand, Israel, and beyond. Six continents.

The book
“A Brush With Life”
Natalie's published coffee table book documents her international career and the range of her body of work.
“Her works are extremely diverse and accomplished. It has been my particular privilege to witness the first-hand reaction of clients all over the world to the work of this remarkable artist.”
Richard A. Furlong, NAA, Auctioneer and Art Specialist, A Brush With Life Foreword
“Natalie paints from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, and commissions are open. They are the work she loves most, sharing in someone’s life that intimately and honestly, expressing their thoughts and feelings on canvas when perhaps they can’t.”
