MEET THE ARTIST
Emerging artist, Natasha Powell, creates paintings and illustrations that focus on the female evolution process and its range of colorful emotions. “I use color to evoke feeling, helping to express my character’s state of mind,” says Natasha. While drawing since the age of ten, Natasha spent the majority of her time drawing fashion illustrations; therefore, graduating with a B.A. in Apparel Design and Merchandising from Virginia Tech.

Her current series, “The Lady’s Coffee” focuses on topics such as self-image, interdependent relationships, and social consciousness through the empowerment of women. The series seeks to empower women of all ages, representing the intense diversity of our emotional spirit.

Aside from the Lady’s Coffee series, Natasha has completed several works including oil landscapes and the Harlem Renaissance paintings. Much like her inspirations that include Diane von Furstenburg, Andy Warhol, Ava Gardner, and Dorothy Dandridge; Natasha hopes that her work will create a thought-provoking dialogue amongst its viewers as well as inspire others to pursue their passions wholeheartedly.
