Originally from Ukraine, Natalia moved to the U.S. with a Ph.D. in Economics. After volunteering and a job in IT, she found her passion for creativity and art. Fashion illustration and Design was the starting point for her art career, taking classes at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology, Parsons, and Stanford University.

With this experience in commercial illustration, she began to explore the world of fine art. Natalia is interested in art as a communication tool by creating works as a spiritual experience that reflects personal transformation and heals during and after life-changing events. 

In artistic practice, Natalia uses watercolor in the author's multilayer technique. The brushstrokes are created by using the masking fluid that creates a barrier for the paint. Along with watercolor painting, she works with such media as sketches, portraiture and soft pastel. 

Natalia Shevchenko has exhibited at the de Young Museum (San Fransisco, CA), Startup Art Fair (San Fransisco, CA), Los Altos Rotary Art Show (Los Altos, CA), Pacific Art League (Palo Alto, CA), and other venues in North California.

Natalia has been commissioned for art projects by companies such as Merit Beauty and Diptyque.

Currently Natalia teaches at the Pacific Art League, Palo Alto and volunteers with GenArts Silicon Valley.
