Natalie Toplass - Canvas Prints

Natalie Toplass started painting professionally shortly after moving to Shropshire in 2003, following her earlier formal training in Fine Art and later, stage and set design.  She began working on a series of intricate flower and bird portraits, which she feels that Georgia O’Keefe, Karl Blossfeldt and early 17^th century Dutch painters such as Ambrosius Bosschaert have heavily influenced. She often works from photographs translated onto a large-scale canvas where the focus is then increased to enable the viewer to be surrounded and drawn into what becomes an abstract concept of color and shape.
