Nat George's artistic career began when she learned the basics of painting from her mother. A newcomer to "formal art education," she walked the road of the self-taught artist through her teens and early adulthood, followed by a fashion-design apprenticeship. While pursuing an art practice outside of the mainstream, she acquired an extensive design and technological background as a freelance graphic designer and art director, and eventually landed a spot under the mentorship of artists Linda Lopez and Sharon Kagan through SMC's Art Mentor Program in 2005-2006. A self-professed urban nomad, Nat George is drawn to the amalgamation of technological, natural, and metaphysical forces in urban spaces. Although she works in a variety of mediums, her focus remains painting and video.
