Natasha Barnes
Natasha Barnes is a South African artist and has been painting since the age of seven. Her natural talent and pure passion for painting has led this self-taught artist to develop a profound style, exhibiting expressionism, colour and movement. Her paintings are inspirations found in her travels and the love for the rich landscapes surrounding her life.
Apart from a few art lessons as a child, Natasha has had no formal art training. After completing school, she studied Cordon Bleu cookery and worked as a cookery editor and foodsylist for a leading South African magazine, before opening her own cookery school. Equally talented as a chef, she is a master at designing wedding cakes, sugar craft and floral arrangements. During her cookery years Natasha painted part time, and exhibited in South Africa. Her love for brush finally led to the decision to give up everything and paint full-time.
Natasha paints in waterbased mediums, she enjoys pure watercolours and acrylics, often mixing the two. The paint application is thick and sometimes textured often glazed with a wax to provide a sheen. Her subject matters dictate the flow of the paint.
Her work can be found in corporate and private collections throughout the world and has been exhibited extensively in the UK, America, and the Middle East. Exploring new ideas and experimenting with creative thought ensures that Natash's paintings grow with her passion to enjoy a long and fruitful career.
