Thus, in addition to abstract and realistic painting with acrylic and mixed media, writing poetry has become her passion. Her fascination with colours and their inexhaustible combination possibilities are reflected in the diversity of her works of art. Since Natalie combines painting with freedom, she does not only follow a certain direction, but likes to try out different techniques and styles. It is important to her to let herself be guided by the Spirit of God, which for her is the source of all beauty. Inspired by verses, visions and dreams, or feelings of her fellow men, she captures them expressed through colour on canvas. Natalie describes her painting process as: "Healing of one‘s own soul, liberation from convention and limitation, and in its end product: healing and releasing of other souls".
