From chenille bedspreads & fringe vests to mosaics & ceramics, Andryea Natkin shares her journey as a seeker, always on the lookout for what is truly hers so she can express it. She  was born into a family of artists, which gave her that foundation of permission to trust herself.  Andryea persevered and eventually received her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, all along working in a variety of mediums including drawing, painting, printmaking, mosaic and ceramics.

Takeways

1. Be wasteful and make ugly things.
2. Make a lot of mistakes.
3. Don’t judge yourself while you’re making.
4. Inspiration comes from my heart, not my head.
5. Turn the fire up. It’s time to get going.
