128: Artist Spotlight: Natasha Patel of Napa Gogo Art

In this month’s Artist Spotlight, I’m introducing you to Natasha Patel of Napa Gogo Art. Natasha is a self-taught artist whose specialty is creating beautiful mixed media fluid abstracts. She shares her journey to art, which included a courageous leap away from the corporate world to become a full-time artist just a couple years ago. We discuss her process, how she grew her business, and how she works with designers.

The Design Coven will be doing a studio tour with Natasha on September 29 at 11 AM. To join us, become a Design Coven member at designcoven.com/join.

About Natasha

Natasha is a self-taught abstract artist based in Southern California. Influenced by her artistic upbringing and a desire to escape the corporate grind, she now passionately crafts bold and colorful abstract art as a full-time creative entrepreneur. Her work is inspired by the natural world and the universe’s patterns, resulting in contemporary paintings that combine abstract expressionism with scientific elements. Using fluid acrylics, alcohol and acrylic inks, sand, and epoxy resin, she creates multi-layered compositions rich in texture and depth. Her palette – featuring purple, green, blue, and gold – draws from her Asian Indian heritage and personal connections, symbolizing feminism, community, heritage, and wealth.
