This week we sit down with London based artist and illustrator Natalie Newsome. Natalie’s work seeks to capture the potency of memories. Through her use of colour and mark-making, she hopes to transport the viewer to a particular moment in time - somewhere familiar or nostalgic. She works across mediums, often using watercolour, pastel and acrylic to create expressive pieces filled with movement. Nat talked to us from her beautiful, airy workspace in East London, and we discussed all things wedding stationery, the struggles and joys of working as a freelancer, the distinction between artist and illustrator and how she’s continuing her grandma’s legacy.
