Bio

Nathalie Vogel was born  in 1975. Her parents are French, though she was born in Madagascar, and grew up successively in Mauritius, Reunion and the south of France. She then moved to Paris and studied at The Académie de la Grande Chaumière, where her mother and grandmother, also painters, did their training. Following that apprenticeship, Nathalie went to School of Sevres and Emile Cohl to further her studies of drawing, color, sculpture and art history.  She moved to the United States at 21.

Nathalie Vogel settled in Virginia, where she worked on large-scale murals. Clients there include Mary Matalin and James Carville.  She moved to New York in 2001 and established herself as a portrait painter.  Dimitri Salmon, Curator of Paintings for the Louvre, praised her “technical virtuosity” in his 2006 book, Ingres: Regard Croises.  She is currently studying with Alyssa Monks.
