Continuing our profile of the three Works on Canvas artists currently painting inside the KedsWhitney windows at Bloomingdale’s, I had the chance to speak with Santiago, Chile native Natalia Yovane last week.

Natalia received both her BFA and MFA degrees from the School of Visual Arts here in New York City. When not at work on her craft, Natalia spends her time assisting artist Marilyn Minter.

When I met Natalia, she was overwhelmed with excitement to be working with Keds, the Whitney Museum of American Art and Bloomingdale’s.  I asked her what she thought about public art and she quoted Keith Haring saying that ‘art is for everybody.’  Her creative style leans toward graphic shapes and lines with some recurring themes. She said that she is looking forward to collaborating with Erica and Jee on canvas to see the fusion of their collective spirits.
