There is a sacred, silent frequency in an original work of art—a vibration that a print, no matter how beautiful, simply cannot replicate. To stand before a canvas by Natalie Uhrik, our Artist in Residence, is to move beyond the physical world and into a quiet listening. It is less about seeing a landscape, and more about feeling one.
Natalie’s work is a profound exploration of the subtle spaces between emotion, intuition, and the vastness of the inner and outer universe. Her journey as an artist is not one of construction, but of uncovering. It is a deeply intuitive process guided by music, movement, and a quiet attunement to energy rather than form.
For Natalie, every brushstroke is a record of a moment in time. “An original artwork carries the frequency of the moment it was created,” she shares. “The breath, the movement, the emotion that passed through my body and onto the canvas. That energy lingers. You can feel it when you enter a room; it subtly shifts the air, creating a sense of presence and grounding. A print can echo the image, but an original holds the pulse of its making.”
When you bring one of Natalie’s works into your sanctuary, you aren’t just hanging a piece of art; you are opening a window inward. Pieces like Give Me Space and Castaway act as quiet companions, offering a place to pause, breathe, and reconnect. They are expressions of presence rather than place—reminding us that space, both within and around us, is where clarity resides.
Natalie finds a beautiful tension in the "Material Mix"—the dance between the contemporary and the storied. She believes her works truly come alive when placed alongside pieces with history.
“I love the tension between old and new,” Natalie says. “Contemporary works sit gently within spaces filled with worn timber, antique tables, or hand-forged metal, adding a new layer to an already rich story rather than replacing it.”
The materiality of her work is essential to this harmony. The physicality of the canvas—the layered marks, the intentional surface, the tactile grit—anchors the ethereal themes in the real world. It invites a touch, even if only with the eyes, making a space feel honest, lived-in, and deeply restorative.
The palette of this collection emerged from a desire to heal and refresh. These are tones designed to lift a room gently, allowing it to breathe. Earthy, softened hues are punctuated by moments of light—like the Lunar Glow or Whispers of Mars—colours that Natalie describes as a"quiet conversation about balance."
This is art born from a period of slowing down. It is a reminder that beneath the noise of daily life, there is a quiet guidance waiting to be heard.
Natalie’s invitation to you is to embrace the "Creative Pause." Stillness in her studio comes from ritual—music, repetition, and time spent without expectation. She encourages you to choose art through that same lens of stillness.
“My advice is to choose with feeling, not logic,” she suggests. “If a piece continues to call to you—if you keep returning to it—that’s your sign. Original art should feel like recognition. When a work resonates with your personal story, it will always belong.”

At the end of the day, a home is not defined by the four walls that hold it, but by the quiet frequencies we choose to invite inside. Natalie’s work is a gentle reminder that we are allowed to take up space, to breathe deeply, and to be still. Whether it is the vast, reaching horizon of a large canvas or the grounded weight of a marble tray on a well-loved table, these pieces are here to anchor you. They are invitations to stop rushing, to look up at the "Grandmother Moon" in your own life, and to remember that the most beautiful things are often built slowly, layered with time, and enjoyed without ceremony. May your sanctuary always be a place where you can finally exhale and simply, beautifully, stay.
Drawing from years of experience in homewares and design, we celebrate conscious buying, artisanal craftsmanship, and are driven by the belief that every space should be a collection of pieces that tell stories from past and present and make ways for the narrative to continue in the future. Our mission is to inspire, guide, and help you weave a unique and meaningful story within your own walls.
