Hello! I'm Nat.

I'm an artist trying my best.

Nat is a multidisciplinary undergraduate artist majoring in Art and minoring in Digital Arts at the University of California, Irvine. In addition, she serves as a graphic design manager for the New University publication, director at large of social art club Conceptual Collective Plus, and curator at the Catalyst Undergraduate Art Gallery.

Addressing issues or channeling personal struggles, Nat aims to understand the world and herself by depicting cheerful imagery, trippy patterns, vivid colors, and turbulent emotions. Her desire to spark joy and inspire hope led her to feature in numerous university exhibitions, prominent events, and publications. Notably, she has featured at her university's Art of Healing Showcase, the health sciences inaugural group exhibition VIRAL INTEGRATION, and the health humanities exhibition Aurora, with artwork focused on well-being, mental health, and empowering others. Embracing her reliance on creative media for her own well-being, she aspires to emphasize entertainment and pop culture’s role in influencing identity – allowing individuals to express themselves in unconventional yet meaningful manners. Experimenting with various mediums, Nat wishes to continue uplifting her community while exploring new methods of achieving it.
