Heavy-handed︙Natalie Ortiz
Natalie Jauregui Ortiz is an artist who paints stories of friends and herself as she explores telling stories of underrepresented communities. Reflecting on her experiences as a mixed-generation Mexican-American raised in Northern California and living in NYC, her works investigates themes of intimacy and belonging, isolation and otherness. Her current work focuses on capturing specific moments, oscillating between tight lines with swift movement in glossy, paint-heavy pieces.
