About
Thanks for visiting my site! I'm Natania, an engineer by day, self-taught painter by night. I work in acrylics and oil, on canvas and dried gourd -- all from my Brooklyn, NY apartment. Through my use of color, pattern and expression, I create portraits and patterns with a sense of humor and whimsy. I'm interested in images which are not quite photorealism, not quite abstract -- where decorative motifs go hand in hand with detailed figurative elements, united by bold and vibrant color.
I come from three generations of gourd-painting women. Painting gourds and canvases allows me to feel a sense of connection with my mom and grandmother, whose works draw on the images and patterns seen through their passion for worldwide travel. Through my own work, I hope to capture that same feeling of joy and warmth.
So feel free to peruse my collection of painted objects and canvases. If you see something that particularly makes you laugh or smile, great! Feel free to reach out at n.wolansky17@gmail.com for any inquiries.
