With over a decade of experience in watercolor, Natalie Brooks Dourte shares her love of nature through painting.

Her work is a rhythm of breathing in nature and exhaling with paint, honoring her source of inspiration, and inviting others to join her in the practice of wonder. Natalie is a member of both the Florida Watercolor Society and Central Florida Watercolor Society, and graduated fellow of Arts Fellowship Orlando.
