Natalie Stutely has always had a deep love for painting, a passion that has existed since her early childhood. At the tender age of six, she asked her mother to draw a horse for her. Natalie watched in awe as her mother effortlessly sketched out the most beautiful creature she had ever seen. The image of the horse, with its graceful arching neck and flowing mane, has remained etched in her memory ever since.
Her father was also a major influence in her life, instilling in her the value of practical skills. He taught her the art of woodwork, metal work, and welding, all of which she excelled at. It was the perfect combination of her creative eye and technical expertise that paved the way for her powerful paintings.
Natalie's main sources of inspiration come from Renaissance and Pre-Raphaelite art, as well as the classic equestrian artists of the 19th century. She is particularly fascinated by capturing movement and energy in her paintings, as well as playing with light and shadow to create a spectrum of colors.
In her art, Natalie infuses depth and fluidity, whether it's in the muscular power of a horse or the delicate intricacies of a feather. Her masterpiece, "The Battle Within," is a stunning portrayal of two rutting stags, set against the backdrop of Sron Scourst, Glen Meavaig, and the Forest of Harris.
One of Natalie's most notable works, "Convivencia Para Siempre," is a true testament to her equestrian art. It showcases her incredible ability to capture dynamic power, movement, and drama in her paintings. With every stroke of her brush, she brings to life the pounding hooves, flying manes, and focused eyes of the majestic creatures.
Her talent is further displayed in her study of a male kestrel perched on a post. Despite its small size, the painting exudes extraordinary precision, presence, and power.
