Natalie Newsome - Artist & Creative

Based in London, my art practice explores memory, nostalgia, landscape and synesthesia. I work intuitively across mediums, from watercolour to oil pastel and ink, creating painted choreographies that move between memory, reality and imagination. Often working with my own memories, I'm interested in their depth, intricacy and woven nature, each moment caught and layered in the mind. Through mark making and colour, I find ways to explore, articulate and express these complex emotions embedded within our memories, whether that be in landscape, still life or abstract works.
I studied Architectural and Interdisciplinary Studies at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. From experimenting with drawing during a module at the Slade School of Fine Art, to exploring film and sound installation, I engage with a wide range of disciplines within my work. My time spent working in the music industry at Nonesuch Records has also been a key influence on my art practice and I often use my synesthesic experience to paint visualisations of music.
