Natalie Kuehn
St. Louis and Peoria
Currently going for my BFA in both Graphic design and Painting at Bradley University, I'm always in some sort of studio. I'm also a minor in multimedia and I play with websites and interactivity. When I'm not at school, I'm designing and sketching in St. Louis... or swing dancing... or rollerblading
As a junior graphic design and painting student at Bradley University, I find pleasure in stretching myself to see how my two concentrations can feed off each other. Although the end designs and paintings appear to have no correlation, the attention to detail and refined approach in my designs rubs off on my paintings, while the color palettes and unbridled creativity in my paintings rub off on my designs.
Artwork is in my blood. I grew up with a mother who could paint and draw and always allowed me outlets to be creative, and a much older brother who knew more about computers and graphic design than his teachers. When I was seven years old, he had already started up a graphic design company of his own, and ever since then I've been attentively peering over his shoulder. Now that I am the same age that he was when his business unveiled, I am working for his company to help with design, going to school to gain as much as I can, and learning to stand on my own two feet as a designer and painter. Along the way my paintings have been seen in multiple shows (and theatres for that matter), and my designs and multimedia work have been used on the web, in publications, and on t-shirts for businesses as well as school.
