Natalie Excell
I’m a Surrey-based artist creating detailed watercolour artwork inspired by the natural world. I develop my paintings into repeat patterns and coordinating designs for wallpaper, fabric, and other applications, with a particular love of seeing my artwork become part of a thoughtfully considered interior.
Much of my artwork begins with something I’ve noticed – a flower, a particular colour, or a detail from somewhere I’ve visited. Whatever the subject, I want to capture what first drew me to it, whether that’s the intricate detail or simply the feeling it evokes.
For me, there’s something particularly satisfying about the moment when the artwork clicks into place – when the pattern works, the colours feel right, and the finished design transforms into something that belongs within a harmonious room
Bespoke work
Alongside my collections, I work with interior designers and private clients on bespoke projects – from adapting an existing design to creating a completely new collection tailored to a specific project. Beyond interiors, I also take on selected illustration projects and licensing opportunities for products, publishing, and creative collaborations.
