About Nathalie Tierce
A major influence on Nathalie Tierce’s paintings is her lifelong fascination and personal relationship to spaces. Growing up in New York City, her memories of being in and among the buildings and rooms that are the backdrop to life’s events intertwine with her emotional history around them.

You can find Nathalie on Facebook, Instagram, and on her website, tierceart.com.
