Natasha Shoro is a contemporary artist based in Southern California. As an introspective woman, wife, mother, artist, and educator, Natasha has developed a keen philosophy in which she explores the world as a fluid canvas. Mediums range from abstract mixed media, mixed media collage paintings, to site-specific installations. Earth, Air, Fire & Water celebrates Natasha’s relationship with nature, and it is through these elements that she unfolds her inner being. With nature as her inspiration and guide, mapping and overlapping of aerial views and ocean depths are prominent in her work as are varying patterns and textures.
