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.

My shop is a collection of little moments for happy walls. It was made to inspire, decorate and add some color to your special space.

In my work, I enjoy exploring the relationship between texture and surface; the translation of light and color into a newer, more contemporary forms. Celebrating the beauty of imperfection.

My work is inspired by the endless beauty of nature. Its unique colors and shapes inspire me to develop my own interpretation and create a new, intuitive surface of rich textures, details and rhythms.

I mainly work in soft oil pastels, wax pastels and colored pencils, but I also enjoy exploring in ink and gouache as well as mixing different media.

I am Stupid Sloth Cards, and I make hand drawn cards featuring animals wearing clothes and frequently (almost always) cursing. I also make small framed drawings, watercolors, prints, stickers, magnets and other items featuring the same wacky characters. My style is, well, awkwardly cartoony? Simple and untrained? I guess you can just call it, stupid sloth style, with the emphasis on stupid.

Inspired by the lopsided forms of the natural world, all ceramic objects in bloom’s collection are made by hand, slowly and mindfully, each unique, with the intention of adding a little poetry to everyday rituals – a cup of tea, a lit candle, a flower brought in from outside to be temporarily housed in a vessel that came itself from the earth.
