Natalie Voelker is a visual artist working in Albuquerque, NM. She uses painting and drawing to investigate the human body as a physical form, a symbol, and the contact site of human experience, emotion, and relationship. Residing in the tension between abstraction and representation, her work reaches toward both physical reality and subjective ephemeral experience. By taking a personal approach to the shared human experience, she explores the search for identity and meaning through relationships with others and oneself.

The Harwood Art Center commissioned Natalie to create a large-scale mural installation, in collaboration with Reyes Padilla, in 2017. She created a limited-edition lithograph at the Tamarind Institute for the City of Albuquerque's public art collection in 2014. That same year, her painting, Ethan Sleeping, was selected as the featured work for the state of New Mexico, by Figure50.com, a national juried figurative art competition. Natalie’s work has been featured in multiple publications including the anthology, BARED, and the French-English magazine, VolUp. Her murals adorn nonprofits, businesses, and private residences; her paintings and prints are collected internationally. She has a BFA from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
