The Artist
Natalia Navarra is a freelance illustrator, multi-disciplinary artist, and Visual Arts teacher based in Philadelphia. She earned her BA in Art Education from Rowan University in 2014. Since then, she has been honored to teach a wide array of art courses to a broad spectrum of students. In addition, she has led a number of public and virtual art workshops within her community, and has participated in multiple art exhibits on both the East and West coasts.
Natalia works with a range of mediums but particularly favors digital and traditional illustration. Each piece acts as a portal through which the viewer enters a surrealist dreamscape – constructed of vibrant colors and bold lines. Her work invites the viewer to step into this augmented reality, where symbolism and basic elements of everyday life are combined. Her art demonstrates a strong appreciation for depth, balance, and symmetry.
Artist Statement:
As both an artist and teacher, I make it a priority to create every day, aiming to inspire growth in myself and those around me. I focus on establishing safe spaces where others can comfortably explore and develop their own artwork. I believe that art is a powerful tool for reflection and personal growth.
