Natalie Ashcroft

Natalie, a vibrant, neurodivergent multidisciplinary artist born in Liverpool in 1980, explores mediums like paint, pastel, textile, photography, and film.

Despite interruptions in formal art education at 18 due to pregnancy, she thrived creatively while raising six children, mastering digital design, culinary artistry, and dressmaking.

Returning to academia at 37, she excelled in media studies, earning B.A. and M.A. degrees in Film Studies.

Natalie's cinematic works reflect her personal journey through mental health struggles and art therapy.

Diagnosed with Autism at 43, she now focuses on collage paintings, rediscovering the joy of art from her youth and evolving her narrative of creativity and self-realization.
