Natalie Cronin is a British artist living and working in London. Her work is about identity, imagining new possibilities for things discarded or cast aside.

Her sculptures are born out of a deep listening to the materials she uses, finding each has its own song. She enables their story to unfold and assembles the pieces into a new shape ‘I listen with my fingers, pay attention and listen some more until I sense its first breath. When that happens, I welcome it into the world and laugh with delight at its presence’.

Paint is a material Natalie approaches as a sculptor, using her bare hands and sculptural tools. This enables her to express its kinetic force, texture and visceral nature, and also delight in colour.

Natalie trained in sculpture for 3 years at The Heatherley School of Fine Art before developing her own studio practice, most recently at the renowned Kindred studios & Re:Centre.

Recent commissions include public art murals for Shepherds Bush Market in collaboration with Kindred Studios, White Dots, London, 2023;  ‘Meniscus’ for Boodlah Fashion, London, 2023; and one of her sculptures features on the book cover of bestselling French thriller Le labyrinthe des destins. 

Her work is held in private collections in the UK and internationally.
