Background

About Natalie Y.

Hello! I’m currently majoring in Art and minoring in Digital Arts at UCI. I have experience in leading and working in groups as I've helped construct and design for team projects. From abstraction to realism, I'm very flexible in my art style and constantly strive to improve my creative skills by experimenting with new concepts and mediums. When I'm not creating fan art or practicing technical skills, I love bringing awareness to issues or channeling personal struggles through art. As life is full of highs but also many lows — I aim to understand myself by depicting cheerful imagery, trippy patterns, vivid colors, or dark emotions. My desire to spark joy and inspire others led me to feature in multiple health/medical-themed exhibitions, other prominent events, and publications. I always enjoy hearing what people love about my pieces, how they interpret them, and how they feel touched. Playing with various mediums, I want to continue as a positive impact on my community while exploring new methods of achieving that. Live, laugh, create:) Main mediums: Digital art, watercolor, color pencil, acrylic, charcoal, graphite pencil, polymer clay Other mediums: Fabric (clothes/accessories), glass, jewelry, zine, collage, product design, sculpture, analog and digital photography
