That’s how we greet one another in Indonesia — where I grew up!

My name is Natalia;
my friends call me “Nat”, my extended family (they all live in Indonesia) call me “Lia”.

Now I live in Melbourne, Australia, with my husband and two cheeky daughters.

I discovered my love for watercolor many years ago, there’s something magical and soothing watching the colours blend and make a beautiful, calming soft gradations.

I also sometimes paint with gouache and acrylic depending on the medium I work on and the mood I’m in.

My art is a mindful theraphy in terms of the process, and for the finished result I really hope it can serve as a beautiful reminder of certain season, occassion, and inspiring message to the audience.

In my free time I love to read, gardening, and collect memories by taking photos and writing on my journal.

Don’t hesitate to send me an email to bynataliaco@gmail.com if you’d like something special to be made.

Thank you for being in this space!
