Natasha comes from the beautiful island of Kaua'i where she has been creating art from a young age. As a child she enjoyed experimenting with various media ranging from crafts, to pastels, to soap stone, but became most interested in refining her drawing and painting skills. With the full support of her parents who are both seasoned art consultants, she was encouraged to follow her dream of pursuing an education in art. In 2010 she graduated from the University of Hawaii at Manoa with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting.
