Bespoke Commissions
“You are cherished.”
Those whom Natalie paints are never just subjects. They are all stories, individual stories, expressed in many ways, painted to capture that uniqueness. A best friend through every decade. A parent who held everything together or showed love beyond measure. A partner, a child, someone, somewhere or something being celebrated or remembered because of who they are.
Natalie listens first. Then she paints.

What can be painted
“A person, place, pet, possession,
even a passion.”
even a passion.”
If it is important to you, it can be painted. Family portraits and figures are much of what you will see in the gallery, but there are also landscapes and skies, beloved pets, abstracts, homes, and a series of 225 original paintings for a boutique hotel in West Perth.
“Every commission is created within a colour story that is yours, complementary to your home, your space, the way you live. The painting should belong where it hangs. This is part of the conversation.”

“A passion for shoes has laced an Australian artist to one of the world’s most revered footwear designers.”
The Courier Mail, Malaysian International Shoe Festival
“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. It's not a matter of if... it's a matter of how soon and how much.”

Where many of them began
“A great many collectors first met the work at sea.”
For ten years Natalie painted live aboard the world’s leading luxury cruise lines, and people watched her work day after day. Many of them got in touch afterwards, sometimes years later, from the other side of the world.
- · Cheryl and Darren bought aboard a ship, then wrote. They now own seventeen or more originals.
- · Eric watched every day around New Zealand, then commissioned his two daughters.
- · Lino saw the work at sea and commissioned his family from another country.
- · Brittany said one day she would own one, and years later she did.
The process
“Three steps to something loved forever.”
01
Tell their story
Tell Natalie about your person or people, and the space. Who are they? What is their story? What colours live in their home, the mood of the room, which wall will this painting enliven? Every commission is created within a palette that lights up the space where it will hang. Natalie will also ask what you always say when you are together, the thing that makes it unmistakably you and your people. That answer has become more than one painting's title. And if a blank page feels daunting, many commissions begin with a painting of Natalie's you already love, adapted and personalised until it is entirely your own.
02
Natalie creates
Working from your insights, Natalie paints. When she feels she has captured everything, this is the time for any changes or adjustments.
03
They receive it
Seeing the face when someone sees their gift or commission in the flesh for the first time is priceless, and gets relived every time others view it as well. A memory everyone will own forever.
THE ORIGINAL AND BEYOND
“The original lives in your home. The story doesn't have to stop there.”
Every commission can be reproduced as a limited edition giclee on canvas, individually numbered and signed, so the daughter in Melbourne, the friend in London, the sister interstate can each have their own memory.
One painting. A family of keepsakes.
Each reproduction can also be hand embellished by Natalie, texture added and colours shifted by brush, making each one a unique variation. No two embellished editions are identical.

What they say
In their own words.
“I always said one day I am going to have a piece of her art, it's an amazing piece. He takes it everywhere with him and hangs it up.”
