About Me.

Natasha Martel has always planned to be an artist. She studied Studio Arts at Concordia University and completed her BFA in 2016. Natasha and her partner built a studio space in Vankleek Hill, Ontario where she dedicates all of her time to painting and drawing. Her work is evidence of a process coming into being. The gestures capture movements caught in time. While simultaneously being performative, there are also conceptual underpinnings concerning ideas of the human condition. ​
