About
Natalie Woodlock is an Australian artist and printmaker based in Seattle. She explores queer subculture and temporality in her work, creating heraldic and commemorative screen printed portraits of her queer friends. This work has been shown in exhibits at SPACE (Portland ME), The Front (New Orleans LA), The Bureau of General Services – Queer Division (NYC NY), The Peninsula School of Arts (Fish Creek WI), and the Seattle Art Fair. In 2018 Natalie completed an MFA in Printmaking at The University of New Orleans, and has since been involved in many printmaking initiatives and artist residency programs. In 2021 Natalie was the Print Fellow at The Wassaic Project (Wassaic NY). In Spring 2022 she completed the Graduate Apprenticeship Training Program at The Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia, where she learned the skill of repeat pattern and design on yardage. She has been an artist in residence at Women’s Studio Workshop, Seattle Restored, Stoveworks, The Peninsula School of Arts, Jentel, Vashon Island Artist Residency, Anderson Ranch, In Cahoots, and UCROSS, among others. Natalie is currently working on her first artists’ book “Tearjerker: Brokeback Mountain”, a work that illustrates scenes from Ang Lee’s 2005 film that brought viewers to tears at a series of screenings she organized. For this work, she was awarded the 2025 Larry Somers Fellowship through Seattle Print Arts. She is currently working towards her first solo show, Nite Beat, at 4 Culture Gallery in 2027. Natalie currently teaches printmaking workshops at a variety of printshops and art centers throughout the PNW.
