Born in Pembroke Ontario, Nataly grew up with a backyard full of wildlife, a hunter father, nurturing mother, and spent her fruitful childhood days making stop motion shorts of dinosaurs and disappearing acts with her siblings. Nataly completed her BAA Illustration Program at Sheridan College. Inspired by a mixed bag of cute things, people and her on going discoveries of Koreanisms, Nataly's artwork is like a picnic in the park - but where the ants stealing your food are wearing party hats and rain boots!
