Natalie Green was born in Montreal, Quebec and moved with her family to Nelson, British Columbia at the age of eight. She spent many camping trips with her family in the wilderness, where she developed an enduring interest in the natural world, particularly wild animals. She started drawing when she was very young, progressing to pastels and watercolor pencils; 10 years ago, she decided to try watercolors, and more recently expanded to acrylics. She has an extensive collection of original paintings available for sale, as well as giclee art cards. A number of paintings are available as limited edition giclee prints, some of which have made their way to Germany and England. In addition, there are prints available in her online gallery at www.imagekind.com. She also does commissions upon request.
She has her work in galleries in Fort Nelson, Fort St. John, Nelson, West Edmonton Mall, Red Deer, and two locations in Grande Prairie.
Natalie has donated a painting, titled “Mohrr Gazelles-Sahar Oasis” to Mountain View Conservation and Breeding Centre, to support their efforts to raise funds for the care, feeding, and eventual release of their animals back to their natural habitat. She is currently a member of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, BC Wildlife Federation, and Ducks Unlimited, because she supports their conservation efforts. She donates her work to each of their fundraisers, as well as to fundraisers for organizations such as the PARDS Therapeutic Riding Association, the Alberta Conservation Association, and the Creston Wildlife Centre. This year she started donating to the Exotic Feline Breeding Compound/Feline Conservation Centre in California.
