Where Wisdom Flows Bear Painting by Natalie Marquis

Welcome to a World of Wonder, Color, and Beauty

Hi There! I’m so happy you stopped by to meet me and my work. I am passionate about living a life filled with joy, art and spirt. I express this by making colorful landscape and spirit animal paintings that evoke a sense magic and wonder, and by encouraging others to make space for more joy, creativity and spirit in their lives through my classes and insightful blog articles.

Paintings Infused with Joy and Spirit

My paintings are available here on my website and ocassionally via exhibits throughout New Hampshire and Massachusetts. About 25 paintings, including my Wild & Whimsical Series, is on Exhibit at the Rye Public Library in Rye, NH through April 2025.

I also welcome appointments for private studio tours.

As a painter, I enthusiastically explore what delights, intrigues, and inspires me. I adore messing around with color and creating layers of visual texture, which gives each painting depth and provides a trail of visual ‘breadcrumbs” (drips, marks, colliding color and little bits of collage peaking through) to explore. I create paintings that draw you in deeper. Broadly speaking, I am inspired by nature, specifically birch trees, winterberries, marshes, flowers, and animals. My paintings reflect and are infused with the delight and reverence I feel in nature’s presence. I hope you feel it too!

I’d love to hear from you, so please email me with questions or thoughts about my art or writings. Join my art lovers community. Or connect with me via Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube @NatalieEveMarquisArt.
