My name is Natalia Weronika Orest, I was born on 9th of April 2002, in Poland, and I am a self taught artist. I spent part of my early childhood in Poland before moving to Norway with my parents when I was about three years old. In 2016, at the age of 14 I moved once again, but this time to Sweden, where I currently live.

I began drawing as soon as I could hold a pen. My family always supported my passion, so I was never short on supplies, (though I used them up quickly!). I drew consistently until I was around thirteen, then took a few breaks throughout my teenage years. In 2024 I started to take my art more seriously again after getting one commission that led to a few more. That was when I truly began investing in myself and my creative journey.

Since then, I have focused on growing as an artist, not only creating custom pet portraits, but also developing original works inspired by the animals and stories that have always moved me. My artistic journey began with childhood drawings of real animals mixed with dinosaurs, dragons, and fantasy creatures. Animals have always been a constant presence and inspiration in my life. I mostly grew up with cats, dogs, and horses, and I began horseback riding at the age of six.

As a child, I would often run away from my mom just to hug every animal I saw, I simply could not help myself! I never wanted to walk past an animal without showing it love. Being around animals has always made me feel calm, safe, and truly myself.

Rescuing animals became second nature. I sometimes brought stray cats home in Norway and during summer visits to my grandparents' countryside home in Poland, where abandoned animals were sadly common.

Today, I live in Sweden with my partner, our cat Ace and our dog Enzo. I still ride at a local riding school and continue to pour my love for animals into every piece I create.

If I could, I would help every animal in the world! Through my art, my goal is to at least help as many as I can.
