About the artist
Natasha Owen is a Hong Konger who lives in Brighton with her husband, daughter, 2 chihuahuas and pug. She is a resin, multimedia, contemporary and self-taught artist. Passion of art was in her blood; her dream was to become a professional successful artist since she was a child.
She was incentivised by winning several awards for her art when she was young in Hong Kong. She was discouraged from attending art school though, “There’s no money in that and you need to get a job”, they said.
She picked up the art brushes to work hard again a few years ago and suddenly had a thought, “I have to chase my dream. I don’t want to be a famous artist only after I die. I am a happy, cheerful, optimistic person. I believe that lifeline in my palm, I have to control by myself.”
Most of her life in Hong Kong was living in Clear Water Bay amongst the beaches and seafront. Her art is inspired by the environment, animals and anything that sparkles with life.
Natasha uses many layers of pigments and resins, and it takes her 2 months+ to complete a picture in her specially built temperature-controlled studio. Her wave pictures are organic, powerful and portray lots of energy.
