Natalie Stopka is a Yonkers, New York based artist and educator focused on the material history of color. She captures material and elemental interactions in her collaborative, experimental art practice. Natalie's meticulous, layered imagery incorporates botanical dyes that are ethically foraged or cultivated in her studio garden. The plants provide a seasonally evolving vocabulary of texture and color, rooting her artwork to place. Raised on the south coast of Massachusetts, she earned a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and MFA from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque.
