Natasha is an adjunct art professor at Central Oregon Community College in Bend, Oregon.

Natasha states:
"During the time I was pursuing my photography based art degree I witnessed meteoric changes within the photographic world. While the once commanding darkroom was being replaced by the newest computer lab, prosperous photography businesses were closing their doors forever.
I both embraced and questioned the digital world photography was being assimilated into. I delved further into the basic concepts of photography; where it came from, what it meant, and where it was going.
Pondering the root words photo meaning light and graph meaning to write, I began exploring the concept of literally writing with light.
I developed various methods of painting using light on photosensitive paper, and designed different tools for this purpose. A US patent has been granted for the process by which I create my art.
I couple cutting edge technology with the most archaic of photographic processes, blending painting and photography, creating art with an innovative medium."
