Natasha has always expressed her artistic side and enjoys enabling others to do that too. Natasha believes that connection is one of the most important things for making your way through life: connection to others, a connection with your spirit and a connection with the world you live in. Eyes are opened enabling you to see exciting opportunities and the gifts that are right there in front of you. This is where the magic happens! Natasha's Artistic Journey:
"When I used to paint, it use to have to be a direct copy of what I saw infront of me and if it wasn't perfect, it was discarded. In the last six years I have discovered a new way of painting. Learning to let go of my controlled style and artistic ability to make way for a spontaneity to guide my work. Before the process was hardwork, exhausting and quite destructive. Now the process in which I paint is healing and nourishing, it is the journey of creating that is more valuable than the end result. However, when I journey from a place of curiosity the end result is quite wonderful". Natasha paints with acrylic on canvas and her series of work centres around colour, vibrancy and energy. When painting she lets go; of the notion of painting what is in front of her, of painting something that's perfect or planned. Instead she likes to let the act of painting flow organically, taking each stroke as it comes and creating something that she couldn't have imagined when looking at the blank canvas. Naturally this involves a lot of playing, experimenting and letting go. Natasha is a trained life coach, with a heart to build peoples sense of purpose, healthy relationships and self awareness. She supports people in their desire to become connected and she sees painting as an amazing way to explore these things. This is an incredibly freeing method of painting that many people may not feel like they can do. So she facilitates people’s creativity and creates a safe space for people to explore and have fun with paint. What do the workshops look like? Natasha provides facilitated spaces where people can undergo a creative journey. These workshops are different to other painting workshops. Instead of focusing on technique and skill development, it focuses on creating a space where there is the freedom to play with paint on canvas and be surprised at what you can create. There is the option of a 3-hour one off workshop, ranging up to 2 day workshops. These workshops are by arrangement: examples of workshops include:
3 hour workshops (adults only).
1 day workshops
3 hour painting party at your home (great for hen dos)
In the process of developing the following:
* Evening sessions for parents and their teens
* 1 1/2 hour parent and toddler sessions in a café/play centres
Equipment and refreshments are provided at these sessions. At the end of the session you will have your own piece of art work to keep and remind you of your creative journey. Who should come to the workshops? There are lots of different types of people who come to these sessions:
Painting beginners
Painting professionals
People at a cross roads
People who feel a bit stuck
People who were told they’re not “artistic” but want to challenge that
Those who fancy something new
Why do the workshop? This workshop is a time to lose yourself and find yourself at the same time. We can spend so much time in our heads; thinking about work/finances/tomorrow, trying to analyse and control our surroundings, trying to keep afloat in this busy world where there is an endless list of things to do. These workshops are a time to give your heads a real break and give space to connect and see things from a different perspective!
