Natasha Newton is a professional artist and illustrator currently living and working in Suffolk, England.

She has exhibited with many galleries in both Suffolk and London, where her work has been selected for major shows several times, including winning an award at The Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours Annual Exhibition in 2000. She is currently exhibiting on a permanent basis with the Serena Hall Gallery in Southwold, Suffolk, and also takes part in themed exhibitions at Reunion Gallery in Felixstowe. Since the launch of her website in 2005 Natasha has gained a large following, and as her work has become more widely known she now receives regular commissions and sells to collectors all over the world.

Her inspirations include nature (in particular the quiet beauty of the Autumn and Winter landscape), patterns, stories, symbolism, birds, forests and trees, which she incorporates into her atmospheric paintings, illustrations, and prints. Her work - once described as 'simultaneously charming and edgy' - often has a slightly surreal or dreamlike quality and has been compared to the work of artists such as Maurice Sendak and Edward Gorey, among others.

Natasha's art has been featured on many websites and design blogs including The Beat That My Heart Skipped, Coriandr, Moo Print, Cuteable, Design Is Mine, Cre8ive Juice, The Creep Machine, Pikaland, Apartment Therapy (Los Angeles), and was also used to illustrate an article on Mad Atoms. She was commissioned to create the artwork for singer-songwriter Amit Erez's self-titled CD album, which was released in December 2007. Her work is also being used by the book publishing company Random House as the cover artwork for a series of five books, due to be published in March 2010.

At the end of 2008 Natasha was approached by the Creative Director of the printing company Moo.com, and is now a Moo Designer. Selected pieces of her artwork are available as postcards, notecards, stickers, and business cards: http://uk.moo.com/en/designs/designers/natashanewton

Natasha's work is in private collections in the UK and abroad, including France, Germany, Italy, Cyprus, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, and Dubai. She regularly accepts commissions for both private and business clients worldwide.

She recently completed a new collection of work for a show in Aldeburgh, Suffolk in May 2009 called The Silent Landscape, and her first solo show was held at the Serena Hall Gallery in Southwold, Suffolk in October 2009. Natasha also has two large shows planned for 2010: the first will be a solo show of new work at The Cinema Gallery in Aldeburgh, Suffolk from 30th July - 5th August with sound installation/music by the American composer Leon Milo. The second will be Natasha's first international show - she has been invited to take part in a joint exhibition with the artists Peter Klint and Franziska Steuer, on the island of Sylt in Northern Germany in October/November 2010.
