Conversation with Nathalie Kalbach

SALVAGE

Please enjoy my conversation with Nat Kalbach. Nathalie is a self-taught mixed media artist, writer, and advocate for historic preservation, whose vibrant works explore urban subject matter through a fusion of paint mediums and collage materials. Her unconventional path into the art world began as a sanctuary from her former role as a paralegal, where she discovered the transformative power of art as a means of storytelling and personal expression.

Nat finds inspiration in the ever-changing dynamics of city life, particularly in the urban subject matter that surrounds her. She connects deeply with the spaces she lives in by not only exploring the visual aspects but also by researching the history and the stories that unfold within the buildings and structures that populate the cityscape.
