Natalie Robinson is a Chinese-Canadian artist from Burnaby, British Columbia. She is honoured to live as an uninvited guest on unceded Traditional Coast Salish Lands, including the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations. She is a recent Bachelor of Fine Arts graduate with a major in Visual Arts from Emily Carr University of Art + Design. Working primarily in oil paint, her practice revolves around the quotidian, with an emphasis on abstracting day-to-day life and the overfamiliar. Since attending Emily Carr University, her practice has shifted from photo realism to representational abstraction.
