Natalie Popovski
Natalie Popovski is a Gold Coast artist who, following her first exhibition in 2018 at Sofa Gallery, has gone from strength to strength. Natalie finished 2022 with a solo show at Tweed Regional Gallery along with being shortlisted for the National Emerging Art Prize and Ravenswood Womens Art Prize. Natalie’s practice began with watercolours and over the years has evolved into oil paintings and ceramics. Her latest body of work is an exploration of the female intuition as represented through flowers. From orchids, to roses, and lillies, Natalie’s works take on an ethereal quality, as the subject blooms into an expression of inner knowing.
