Natalie Dyer was born into a life that was a source of inspiration. With a father in the British Army, Natalie lived in England, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, New Zealand and Australia, all by the age of 8. Growing up, Natalie spent many hours sketching things she loved, especially her dogs and the horses that she rode for long hours through open countryside. As a 17 year old, on the strength of her impressive adolescent portfolio, Natalie was invited to work for a Sydney-based advertising agency, in commercial art, as a trainee graphic designer. At this time graphic design was not computer-based, but studio-based. This required a very high standard of illustration and fine art studio skills.

Later, Natalie and her husband Chris were to open a successful advertising design studio where Natalie produced everything from airbrush work and fine art illustrations, to design work for advertising campaigns. She started to realize that she appreciated many different genres, crossing boundaries between traditional and contemporary in a very natural way.

Natalie is internationally known, her works are in private collections around the world, and she appears regularly as Guest Artist on cruise ships around the world, where collectors relish the chance to see Natalie at work as she paints live in front of them, giving them the opportunity to talk personally with her.
