My name is Natasha and I’m a Brisbane-based Illustrator working in children’s books, greeting cards, film & television and live illustration.
I have a rather colourful background and could tell you stories about escaping charging goannas by running on the back of old oil drums, or hiding in the back of University lecture theatres as a kid, while my Dad gave lessons in animation.
As a grown up, the colourful theme continues. I’ve studied Fine Art, Photography and Graphic Design. I’ve lived in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, LA and London. I own an award-winning greeting card company, that distributes cards all over the world. I work in film and television, using my illustration and design skills to create graphical props and set dressing - with my most recent titles including “Eden” - Directed by Ron Howard, Disney’s “Nautilus”, Mortal Kombat 2, Rocketman and many more. And I now have two published childrens books that were released this year by Scholastic Ausrtalia.
Like my life, my illustration style is colourful, bold and a little bit weird -
with lots of layers and textures and bits flying in from everywhere. I use a mix of gouache, watercolours, pens, pencils, inks and digital techniques to create my whimsical, colourful characters and worlds.
You will usually find me with a coffee in my hand, a child on my hip and a pencil in my mum-bun.
