Natalie McLaurin - New Art!

Natalie's in New Orleans, in her second year toward a BFA.
She's been busy curating and showing and has been married now
for over a year. There is a video link below that you must see to He Needs Me. It is just the best in so many very Gnatty ways....
and generally speaking, Natalie notes:

• Definitely having fun, this is an exciting city to be young, an artist and under employed. I think I am going to be hired to do an after school program at a pre-k and elementary school. Been doing a lot of kids art classes this summer. Its kinda cramping my underemployed style but I enjoy it.
  
  
  
  Natalie has been very busy, here are a few of her current works:

  The Carroll Gallery has new work that I havent had a chance to document. I have a small room with 2 projections, one onto astro turf that is pretty funny and a sculpture that is much like my older work.http://www.tulane.edu/carrollgallery/exhibitions.htm
