Your Imagination is the Combination
As part of her Black History Month Tribute Series, NFT Nat has created an exquisite portrait made up of magazine pieces from her own private collection. This one contains jewelry components. As the daughter of a designer herself, Natalie always tries to add personal touches to everything that she creates.
A series of unique vintage digital photo collages. Each 1 of 1 in comprised of black and white photos from the late 80’s taken in Toronto.

I was offered an chance to display my NFT in this stunning Portl frame by Searchlight NFT. Once I had an opportunity to see how it can be used, I immediately began building a piece specifically for this format (including custom audio by NFT Nat). The show had a halloween theme, so I created this animated portrait with some gothic touches.

“When I was younger, I had a fascination with collages and cutting images out of magazines. I would write my name using letters cut out of magazines (ransom note-style) and I tried to integrate collage into every school assignment I would complete. That’s why, when I saw NFT Nat’s mixed media collage collection, I was awed by her ability to create beauty out of random images and I am eager to discuss with her what went into creating these beautiful pieces.”
Like many of us, Nat has a collection of old magazines. She searches through them to find an image she can build on with the goal to create a style of art that she would like to see in a frame. She sees a picture and will spend hours hand-cutting and rearranging images from photos and magazines. To me, knowing that an artist has put in this much care and effort into their work makes you appreciate the little details that much more. The handmade collages along with the digital touches added bring the pieces the images and the artist’s vision to life.
This collection has five pieces created by Nat: Booking a Shot, Temptation, The Woon Sue Twins, Mahogany, and The Offering. In all five of these pieces, Nat has included her own personal touch — whether it be flowers or family ties. In Booking a Shot, the yellow and pink lilies are cut-outs of photos taken from Nat’s personal garden. She took the photos specifically for this piece and included them to personalize it. Nat also included flowers in Temptation, Mahogany, and The Offering. Each individual flower and leaf was cut out using very small scissors so that Nat could get the most precise cut. Finally, The Woon Sue Twins is an homage to Nat’s mother who is against a background that shows off her Chinese/Jamaican heritage. I love to see artists add a signature image to their work, and the flowers show off Nat’s personality and eye for beauty perfectly.
For 15 years now, I have been working behind the scenes on some really great digital art projects. As Production Manager for Vectorvault, I not only helped to steer projects to their fruition, somewhere along the way I began to feel something else – creative.
I am an active gardener. I adore flowers and I love the colour green. I also have a passion for collecting magazines and beautiful images. For my premier NFT release, I wanted to create something that reflected my interests.
