Thanks for visiting!
Natalie Malseed is an award winning artist who was raised and lives in Albury, N.S.W. Australia.
Natalie is a multi disciplined artist working both 2 & 3D realms. Currently working mainly in Textiles and Encaustic Arts, often combining the two.
Taking inspiration from the natural world, Natalie produces delicate works playing with shadow and scale. Building a rhythm in repetition, the creative process is an evolving form of self-expression and meditation. Her works are an extension of that quiet peaceful place.
The conceptual layers in her art address issues of today, as she shares her experiences, love of nature, life’s lessons, story telling and thoughts through her art practice.
Enjoying both the benefit of being a student of the Arts as well as a teacher of her own Art Practices, Natalie attained a Diploma of Visual Arts in 2014.
Natalie is an Artist in Residence at Art Gallery on Ovens, Wangaratta Victoria and represented by Wrenwood Gallery, Bungowannah, NSW.
2020 Art Challenge
2020 Art Challenge
This year I thought it would be fun to create an Art Challenge, where each month I would set a theme and share some tips and tricks.
To accompany the challenge I made hand bound journals and filled some with water colour paper, some with canvas and each has a little original painting on the cover. If you would like to purchase a journal for $24 (postage included), please email me directly or drop into Wrenwood Gallery.

I'm deighted to have had my Sculpture 'The Talking Troop' selected to be included in this years 'Upstream Small Sculpture Prize'
Work Title: 'The Talking Troop'
Medium : Found tree stump featuring encaustic dipped Mushroom Textile Sculptures with panpastels & hand stitched moss.
Dimensions: H45 x W30 x D30 cm
Sculpture is available for purchase, price on application.
Artist Statement:
The talking troop; a group of mushrooms growing close together is called a troop.
Inspired by Ecologist Susan Simrad’s 30 years of study and discovery of how tree communicate, my intention with this work is to keep the conversation going. "The mushroom plays an important role within this eco system, forming a symbiotic relationship which is vital to the growth and survival of trees. As our country regenerates from these horrific fires, the humble mushroom will breakdown logs, stems, and other organic matter to recycle essential nutrients back into the soil. They also help the trees communicate with each other via their underground root systems." This work features 5 textile sculptured mushrooms which have been encased in Encaustic Medium, a mixture of naturally refined beeswax and damar resin. The mushrooms are then fused with panpastel to bring their colour to life and accompanied with hand stitched moss, made with mixed threads and yarns.
