She has also showcased her talent as a dancer with the renowned “Dance Beyond Dance” ballet group in Hong Kong.

Natalie‘s artistic focus lies primarily in realism and portraiture, particularly highlighting women who challenge traditional societal norms. Her vibrant and intricate pieces draw inspiration from the beauty found in everyday life. As an Asian female artist, Natalie utilizes her artwork as a platform to defy societal expectations and promote self-expression.

In addition to her individual art practice, Natalie actively engages in public art projects.

Furthermore, she participated in the StreetARToronto Outside the Box program in 2023, demonstrating her commitment to public art initiatives. Her latest painting, titled “Fearless,” was selected and exhibited in the prestigious “IMPACT 2023 Exhibition” at the NPCC galleries and “we are resilient Juried Art Show 2023” at Arts Etobicoke.

Beyond her artistic pursuits, Natalie takes pleasure in immersing herself in Toronto’s vibrant multicultural scene, constantly seeking inspiration from the city’s diverse cultures.
