Born in France - Presented by Natalie Ray Fine Art

Asheville watercolor artist Natalie Ray invites you to an intimate evening celebrating her newest collection, “Born in France,” a one-night-only pop-up exhibition at The Studio on Wall Street in downtown Asheville. Guests will enjoy refreshments and the opportunity to experience the paintings and prints Natalie created during her artist residency in France this summer.

The collection captures the timeless charm and quiet beauty of the French countryside, gardens, and châteaux that inspired her time abroad. Each watercolor reflects a story of discovery, connection, and artistic growth, inviting viewers to wander through landscapes infused with light, memory, and the romance of place.

Attendees will have the chance to meet the artist, hear about her creative journey in France, and view both original works and limited-edition prints available exclusively during this event.

Natalie Ray is a watercolor and 24-karat gold artist based in Asheville, North Carolina. Her work is celebrated for its ethereal light, layered emotion, and storytelling through color. She began painting while living in Barcelona, Spain in 2003–2004 and has since studied under internationally recognized artists within Asheville’s River Arts District. Today she creates from her home studio, where she lives with her husband, musician Justin Ray, and their three children.
