THE CALIFORNIA ART REVIEW included both her sculpture and painting in their book of outstanding artists, where they said her Art work was noted for "its arresting aliveness". Natalie feels that her experiences of being in touch with the works of the World's Greatest Artists, while she was a scholarship student at THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO were incredibly important. "I studied how they worked, their brushstrokes, their colors, their textures, and their hearts. That is when I decided I must become an Artist too. Natalie studies not only the Art of the countries she visits but the Philosophies, Music, and Dance including that of Bali, Java, Japan, Cambodia, and Greece. NATALIE has written a movie script which includes some of her "amazing experiences as an Artist."
