A professional musician, Natasha discovered visual arts not more then fifteen years ago. Shortly after starting her first drawing lessons, she realized that art would become much more for her than a mere hobby. She decided to pursue professionally her passion for visual arts by enrolling in the Fine Arts program at Concordia University in Montreal in 1992, where she specialized in painting and printmaking. Being a member and soloist of the chamber orchestra, I Musici de Montreal (with whom she plays more than hundred concerts a year), Natasha tours worldwide and has released over forty compact discs. Even with her busy schedule as a musician, she is an extremely prolific artist. Although she finds both professions equally demanding and important, Natasha is discovering that each discipline nourishes the other. She has produced hundreds of paintings and monotypes , along with several opera sets and series of paintings made after such musical cycles as "Song of the Earth" by Mahler and "Pictures at an Exhibition" by Mussorgsky.

Natasha's first solo exhibition was in Montreal in 1995. To date, she has had more than thirty solo and group exhibitions in Canada, U.S, Spain, France and Hong-Kong. Her works are in many private and corporate collections in U.S., Canada, England, Spain, France, Russia, China and Iran.

"Pictures at an Exhibition "(choreographed paintings) is Natasha's first directorial debut and a first attempt at creating a symbiotic relationship between art, music and film.
