About me

Natalie Coulam, is a digital artist currently pursuing a freelance career, combining travel with her love of design. Her work involves using traditional techniques and computer software to create exciting original pieces of digital artwork, and varies from realistic to quirky cartoon styled characters and scenes designed using 3D modelling.

As well as creating her own work she focuses largely on personal and corporate commissions, which includes art for publication, web, private commissions as well as freelance graphic design work. Her client list includes Saachi and saachi, Black pepper interactive, The Warehouse, Firehorse films. Personal commissions can be from photos (common subjects include pets, people, vehicles, and houses) and are great for gifts, or designed from scratch to fit a specific location and décor.
