Natarsha Oldham

Nartarsha Oldham is an up and coming Brisbane based Artist. Her work is a very interesting mix of water colours and ink that creates some unique creatures. She is currently showing at Foundation Bar in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane.


What inspires you to create?
Nothing really I just do, it's not something that requires any thought or specific inspiration which is probably why I could still be bothered to do it all the time.

What are your hopes for the future? 
As much as I'd love to be an astronaut or have my own TV show with my own theme song, my realistic hopes are to keep drawing and have people like it enough that it can be my full time job and I can dye my hair any colour I like

Name a few things that make you happy?
Red lipstick, Jesus, pens and paper, adventures and surprises

Who are some of your favourite Artists?
I grew up admiring old greats like Picasso and Dali, I guess I really like them because through their crazy they created incredible artworks that challenged and changed how we see and do art.

Favorite music artist?
I love The Wombats because they are so much fun and always make me dance and stop being so serious.
