I'm Natalie Avondet.
In my art, I explore the vibrant interplay of moxie and persistence, qualities that are essential not only in the creation of art but in navigating the complexities of life. The bold, dynamic use of color and form symbolizes the courage to stand out and the resilience required to continue creating, despite challenges.
My work is a celebration of the spirit that refuses to be subdued, encouraging viewers to embrace their own journey with the same vigor and tenacity.
Through my work, I invite the audience to find inspiration in the persistence and the audacity of artistic expression.
I like a combination of old and new; urban and rural; leather and lace. I prefer cats to dogs; hot to cold, and wine with dinner.
To learn more about me and where I'll be next, follow me on social media, check out my More Info page, and/or subscribe to my newsletter where you will also get a sporadic reminders that adversity is your ally.
