Natasha Clarke is a painter, mural artist, and curator based in South Yorkshire. As a mixed-race, working-class artist, her practice is deeply rooted in personal narrative shaped by a childhood spent navigating questions of identity, belonging, and visibility. These experiences now form the foundation of her work, which explores themes of resilience, transformation, and the ongoing journey toward becoming one’s truest self.

Working primarily in traditional oil painting, Natasha’s work spans intimate portraiture, expressive florals, and large-scale public murals. Her distinctive approach blends classical techniques with contemporary storytelling, often incorporating symbolism and recurring motifs such as butterflies to represent quiet strength and growth. Her ongoing series Resilience in Bloom has garnered attention, having been recently interviewed on BBC Radio, for its powerful celebration of feminine strength and soft defiance.
