    In the Family of Natalia, there was no foreshadowing the appearance of the artist, but there were dynasties of physiologists, chemists, biochemists, engineers, doctors. Her grandfather, a well-known physiologist, collected paintings, antiques, albums and books on the history of art, and most likely the environment of numerous works of art allowed the girl to easily start painting. Later Natalia studied at the Kiev State Institute of Decorative Arts and Design. M. Boychuk, and also graduated from the graphic faculty of NTUU "KPI". In his work, the designer tried to realize all education, formal and informal knowledge. Originally it was advertising and showcases, later illustrations of children's and adult books, and then the concept of restaurants, magazines and illustrations for them, the concept of corporate styles. She also participated in the development of the concept and its implementation in the television show "Stars in Opera" on the 1 + 1 channel. And, finally, the artist moved to an independent work, the beginning of which was laid out by graphic series. Next are personal exhibitions, ceramic sculpture, graphics on dishes, textiles and silk.
