Inspired by our recent eclipse (we live in what was a path of almost 100% totality) I set to work the morning of August 21st to put the finishing touches on the first 'Filled With Glory'. After sharing the image to my IG feed, it sold in under a minute. So I put the finishing touches on a second one, and matted it up. It sold in under 10 minutes. I painted a third, after enjoying the eclipse with my grandchildren, and it sold in 5 minutes. Others asked to preorder and pay for eclipse art, sight unseen. This piece is the 4th, and I hope to finish two more this week. ⠀ People are so drawn to the goodness of God, written in the sky." —

Though Natalie doesn’t usually begin a piece with a subject in mind, she often draws from a narrative of flight and movement. “I used to dance so I guess I’m always aware at some level of how we move through the space around us,” she writes. “Those movements have been trained into my body over the years, so I guess it’s not surprising that they inform the mark when I approach a surface. There’s always a push and pull, an up and then letting go, a play with gravity. It’s more about the physicality of the movement than a physical object you see every day. – Read the rest on our discussion group, linked in our bio.

"To really be free, you have to figure out your relationship with fear," Natalie writes. She says some artists struggle to paint on big surfaces, in fear that their mistakes will will be magnified. "Let’s say you make a huge mark and hate it. So what? Can you be okay with whatever is in front of you? The creative process can make you crazy at times, but I think you can. If you hate it, fine. But do something about it. Change it, do it again, but do something. As long as you do that, you’ll keep moving forward." — Read our full interview with @natalieshawart for more advice on finding courage in the creative process (link in bio). #artoffaith
Natalie Shaw's (@natalieshawart) journey into fine art was was propelled by finding creative freedom, something her job as a designer wasn't bring her. "Design ended up being the closest way to sort-of do art and have a 'real job'," she writes. "I considered close-to-art things like fashion and interior design, and landed in graphic design, but never realized they all had art at its core. There’s art in clothes, art in spaces and art in graphics, but at the center is art in its purest form – no agenda, no client, no limitations. I couldn’t shake the thing I felt and finally gave in. Pretty much felt like breathing for the first time." — Read the rest in our online community at the link in our bio. #artoffaith
