Artists Series, 2024—
Natasha started capturing local Bay Area artists in 2024. This is an ongoing series.
"I was meeting a lot of local artists on social media, but I wanted deeper connections. Portraiture has always been a core part of my practice, and after I had learned about Alice Neel's portrait exhibit at the de Young Museum in San Francisco I felt really inspired. Seeing how she captured fellow artists (alongside other figures) really spoke to me. It reinforced the importance of documenting the artists around me — the creative voices shaping the San Francisco Bay Area artistic identity. I started connecting to artists in real life and capturing them, inspired by their individual stories."
