A Natural World Artist
"Semi-abstract Natural World Artist Natalie Day's contemporary canvasses are inspired creations that offer depth, interest, character and beauty. Cornish bred Natalie draws her inspiration from the natural world around her and offers us rich landscapes to escape into. The perfect finishing touch to any interior, but especially for that of nature lovers."
Key Pieces
Paintings made of the land, with the land.
Each piece begins with a relationship to place - from Bodmin Moor to the north Cornwall coast - and often includes earth pigments gathered from the landscape that inspired it. These works are not simply about Cornwall.... they are materially connected to it, creating paintings with a deep sense of origin, memory and presence.
This is art that captures the ancient spirit of Cornwall.
Reimagining the Landscape
"Natalie’s work explores the nature of home. Having grown-up in Cornwall, it investigates her personal relationship with the county and the history of the land. Her process begins in the earth, routing in geology to fathom and forage natural pigments such as red clay and yellow ochre. Out of this communion with soil she builds reimaginings of the landscape, constructing and understanding her place within it. "

'This Land' Solo Show at Royal Cornwall Museum
“We are delighted to exhibit Natalie’s work at Royal Cornwall Museum. Not only is the work of exceptional quality, it speaks directly to the things that are important to the museum - about this unique land we call Cornwall, the very earth and minerals beneath our feet, our heritage landscape and the imagination and ingenuity that fuels Cornish creativity. It is an absolute privilege to show such exceptional work by an artist from Cornwall.”
Bryony Robins, creative director at Royal Cornwall Museum
This is the story of an artists journey; returning to Cornwall, reconnecting, coming full circle.
Rich in mining and ritualistic history, these rural landscapes have been calling me to investigate and contemplate what is above and below ground, the human impact on nature, our place in this world. With this body of work I continue to explore the use of natural pigments and paints made from the earth - these are paintings about the land, made of the land.
Workshops and events ran alongside this exhibition bring the community together to discuss and create, echoing the ancient gatherings on Cornwall’s sacred landscapes.
