Hi there!
My name is Nathalie Cortes and I am an illustrator, surface pattern designer, and lettering artist. I create whimsical art for products like fabric, gifts, and stationary. I draw most of my inspiration from the changing seasons and festive holiday celebrations.
My collections are available for licensing, collaborations, and commissions. If you would like to see more or have a specific theme in mind, please contact me - I would love to collaborate with you and create beautiful products together!
A little bit about me
I was born in Colombia, moved to the US at 16, and have called Spain home since 2019, where I live with my husband, our two children, two dogs, and a bunny. I love traveling and experiencing new cultures, traditions, and landscapes—Europe has been wonderful for that!
My love of art began in childhood, when my aunt Clemencia introduced me to oil painting and sparked a lifelong passion for creativity. Over the years, I’ve explored watercolor, acrylic, charcoal, and digital illustration, always eager to try new techniques.
Though my career path led me through Industrial Engineering and Corporate Event Management, art has always been my companion—helping me to slow down and celebrate life. When my kids were little, creating arts and crafts together was one of my favorite pastimes.
My style blends modern watercolor with digital embellishments and detailed line work, incorporating rich textures and intricate details. I aim to create designs that bring joy and inspiration into people's everyday life.
Let’s collaborate to bring more creativity and beauty into the world!
