Natasha Lien (British, b. 1977)

Natasha Lien, who trained as an undergraduate at Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design in London and as a postgraduate at the prestigious Prince's Drawing School, has been reaching an ever-wider audience in recent years. Her works have been included in a number of public exhibitions in London (such as recent shows at the Royal College of Art; at the Mall Galleries; and at the Slade's Pearson Gallery), as well as having been selected for the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy in 2004, 2007 and 2008.

Her view of trees in Kensington Gardens was singled out for particular praise during the 2007 Summer Exhibition when one reviewer wrote: "Natasha Lien’s [...] view of trees in Kensington Gardens [is] especially memorable". Although Lien is an artist who focuses her considerable talents on drawing and print-making, she also works in oil. Her graphic compositions tend to focus on landscapes and buildings, captured with technical virtuosity, a strong sense of the rhythms inherent in form and a penetrating feeling for the very essence of what she is looking at.

Natasha's work is in many private collections, including those of HRH The Prince of Wales and Kevin Spacey. Natasha welcomes requests for commissions, and has recently completed a large drawing of The Old Vic Theatre.
