After graduating from Philadelphia College of Art, Natasha Harsh moved to N.Y.C., working primarily in art-related fields, she never stopped painting. Over the years, she has had several solo shows and exhibited in numerous group shows. While working in her studio at 41 Union Square West, she was intrigued by the “organized chaos” of the Farmers’ Market. The overflowing arrangements of vegetables seemed to have intrinsic abstract qualities. An ever-evolving series of oils, watercolors and aquatints ensued.

With “still-life” as predominant focus, Natasha has also produced a large number of other represantational works. Having painted at least six very large commissioned portraits of the Minsky family, she feels like their artist-in-residence. She even painted a “portrait” of another friend’s back-yard; trying to capture the essence of this garden by combining images from different seasons into a final painted image. Her painting’s ultimate goal is to evoke a basic, familiar responsive chord in the viewer.
