I love to write

From journal entries to legal briefs and everything in between, writing fuels my passion. It’s a journey into stories, observations, and research, weaving narratives that blend seamlessly with my visual creations.

Discover my writing journey and projects below!

Nat’s Sidewalk Stories is my personal Substack, a digital space where I share and bring my creative adventures to life. I invite you to join me on a journey of art, history and storytelling, fueled by my deep-seated curiosity about the world around us.

I also write there about my new book, If These Walls Could Talk, in which I delve into the rich history of my house in Jersey City, exploring the memories and narratives woven within its walls across different eras.

Join me as I uncover hidden gems, share my artwork, and reveal the stories behind each piece. Click below to explore Nat’s Sidewalk Stories on Substack.

Artful Adventures in Mixed Media

Released in 2017, this book has inspired artists of all levels to explore their creativity through observation and experience.

In Artful Adventures in Mixed Media, published by North Light Books (now part of Penguin Random House), I share unique techniques for transforming everyday inspiration into remarkable artwork. From turning ironwork in Athens to reusable stencils to imprinting Alice’s white rabbit on colorful art journal spreads, each tutorial encourages you to seek your own sources of inspiration and infuse fresh ideas into your creation.

Artful Adventures in Mixed Media invites you to paint, layer, and collage your way to beautiful, meaningful art.
