Natalie Abrams
Born in Highland Park, just outside of Chicago, IL, Natalie Abrams is a sculptor and jewelry designer. She studied design in college, spending over a decade running an architectural consulting firm in New York City, with celebrity and Fortune 100 clients. Shortly after 2000, she dedicated her life fully to her artistic pursuits, constructing sculptures featuring sweeping, delicate structures which mimicked vibrant organisms and fantastical plant life. By 2012, her sculpture work had adopted a more scientific tone, as she confronted the future sustainability of our global environment.
Abrams has exhibited nationally at the Pentimenti Gallery, the McColl Center for Art + Innovation, Redux Contemporary Art Center, City Ice Arts, Glass Wheel Studio, the Boston Center for the Arts, and numerous other distinguished galleries. Abrams has been awarded several coveted residencies including the Sam and Adele Golden Foundation for the Arts, Escape to Create and the Jentel Foundation. Her pieces are included in prominent collections including those held by the Thompson, Spurlock, Fitzhugh, Bell and Deluca families, as well as Marsha Dowler, Cassie Brown, Karen Keane Holland and other notable figures within the industry. In recognition of her mastery of their product, industry leader R&F Paints asked her to create a signature piece for their corporate headquarters. Natalie’s main studio currently resides inside the legendary Torpedo Factory Art Center, just outside Washington DC.
