Australian artist Natasha Ruschka brings everyday moments to life with vibrant, expressive oil paintings. Inspired by nature and her surroundings, she transforms simple scenes into striking visual narratives. Her journey as an artist began in Colorado, where she immersed herself in the Denver art community, shaping her distinctive style.

“I like to think of my paintings as
‘little moments of light’.”

Working primarily in the “Alla Prima” wet-on-wet technique, Natasha blends colors directly on the canvas, creating loose, dynamic brushstrokes that radiate energy and movement. Whether painting still lifes or landscapes, she often works en plein air, capturing the ever-changing light and authentic colors of nature.

For the past eight years, Natasha has lived her dream as a professional artist, sharing her passion through teaching workshops across Australia. Her work has been recognized with multiple awards and is held in private collections both nationally and internationally. She has also been regularly shortlisted for prestigious exhibitions such as Lethbridge 20000, The Darcy Doyle, and Spirit of Australia.

Natasha’s ability to take a fleeting moment and turn it into a compelling vignette is what makes her work so captivating. We’re thrilled to feature her in our upcoming online art show—stay tuned to see her incredible work firsthand!

Her latest collection of original pieces will be unveiled at our next virtual art show “Momentum“, which opens on February 20th at 10am MT. The show will close on February 22nd at 4pm MT. Be sure to create your free Collector Account early so you are prepared for the show open!
