Meet Your Art Teacher!
Nathalie Kelley
Hey there, I am Nathalie. I am so glad you are here.
Being a child and grandchild to artists, I grew up painting and surrounded by art. Our medium at that time was oils but in the mid 1990s I was captivated by the beauty and challenge of watercolors. In 2010 I opened my own studio and began teaching others how to paint with watercolors. That same year, I began competing in watercolor art shows. To my delight, I have won many awards and am able to call myself an award winning artist!
Although I love the competition aspect and hold two watercolor signature statuses, my passion is teaching others what I know about this wonderful medium. And I also love pushing my art students out of the nest to fly and find their own artistic voice.
