NATASHA SHORO

Natasha Shoro’s work is represented by Posner Fine Art and Kevin Barry Fine Art Galleries in Los Angeles. Natasha Shoro is a contemporary visual artist based in Los Angeles. Born in Ithaca, New York to Pakistani parents and she works and resides in Irvine, California.

Shore’s genres include abstract mixed media and mixed media collage paintings to site-specific installations that address topics from her life experiences of being a woman with multi-cultural influences. She finds inspiration from her travels and is inspired by the aerial cartographies in nature.

Natasha spent the first twelve years of her life traveling extensively as her father worked in the hotel management business. Living in the United States, Africa, Europe, and Pakistan exposed Natasha to a wide range of languages and cultures. This rich overlap of experience has had a profound influence on Natasha’s art-making. Throughout her schooling both in the United States and abroad, Natasha has continued to be recognized and awarded for her accomplishments in fine art, experimenting with a variety of mediums.

Graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design with honors and distinction from Iowa State University, Natasha spent her undergraduate years developing a body of work on paper and canvas using translucent acrylic washes inspired by Abstract Expressionism. Receiving two grants, one for her honors project Riding the Waves and the other for a Focus Grant Painting on Fabrics, enabled Natasha to explore various processes. Natasha competed in a regional art competition at the Brunnier Gallery and Museum in Ames, Iowa were her Ethnic series was honored as “Best in the show” at the Brunnier Gallery Museum.

Natasha continues to exhibit internationally. Her work has evolved over the years and masters a variety of multimedia techniques. Natasha’s passion for mark-making in drawing and painting encourages a journey of self-discovery and investigation of personal space and overlapping identity. Her international exhibitions and sold-out solo shows culminated in the Ethnic Identity Series of paintings, which were exhibited and sold at Marion Meyer Contemporary Art Gallery in Laguna Beach, California.
