Natalie Meulenbroek is an artist based in Boston, MA and the seacoast area of New Hampshire.
Natalie is currently studying studio art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University. In 2023, as a senior at Spaulding High School, she completed her first collection, Something Fishy, which focuses on aquatic life and coastal whimsy. She is tremendously captivated by water and the way light flits and dances atop it — no two moments are the same. The ocean is one of her favorite subjects, though she discovers inspiration everywhere. In her work, Natalie seeks to capture nostalgic memories of summer’s warm glow and luminescence. She has found a passion for oil painting but loves to experiment in a variety of mediums including charcoal, watercolor, oil pastel, and colored pencil.
