(sub)urban warrior
Muralist/Fine Artist

Natalie Clare is a creator based in the suburbs of Chicago. The merging of city and suburb cultures has influenced her work, leading her to blend high energy with soft subtlety. She is inspired by the incredible beauty and diversity of the natural world. The shapes, colors, and harmony of flora and fauna come through in all the work she makes. She primarily uses spray paint as a muralist due to its diverse applications, from hard edges to translucent smokiness. She has grown up in the midwest, embracing its diversity and the ways in which it represents both an ease of life and a stark harshness. Her professional career started in 2016 with a strong emphasis on mural work that has continued to evolve over the years of practice.
