Hi, I'm Natalie!

Natalie Crandall is a painter based in Maplewood, New Jersey. Working with acrylic paints, she transforms thrifted frames into one-of-a-kind pieces of art, often incorporating the frame itself into the design for a fully reimagined look. Her work is characterized by playful, abstract interpretations of everyday objects—florals, fruits, motifs, symbols, and colors that evoke mood and emotion. Natalie spent 17 years in a career in education as a teacher, coach, and leader, and coming back to painting as her full-time focus changed her life. She hopes her art will help others embrace their own abundant creative possibilities, too.

Commissions:

I'm happy to collaborate with you on a commission; either by reproducing an earlier piece again, or creating something custom and new for you! I'm always on the hunt for thrifted frames for new pieces. See a review here, and reach out below if you'd like to chat.
