Natalie Hollywood, a neurodivergent, disabled (hEDS) mother of three, has redefined what it means to be successful, seen, and unstoppable in a world that was never built for her. Her art is an act of survival, rebellion, and deeply dived self expression.
Working quite by accident, in the lineage of 20th century Abstract Expressionists, Natalie creates with her whole body, pouring, dripping, and throwing paint onto vast canvases or aluminium panels laid out on the floor. There are no brushstrokes. No rules. Only instinct, movement, and raw emotional force. Into these charged surfaces, she often embeds words; truths that crack open silence. Her work is part painting, part channeling.
Art, for Natalie, is not about superficial adornment. It’s about communication of the unspoken. The things we cannot say. Unspeakable but universal truth. This is what connects us. Not religion. Not borders. Not doctrines or beliefs. But the shared, wordless resonance that lives in all of us. Her paintings bypass division and speak straight to what makes us one world, one people, one awareness, meeting via canvas, metal, polymer - anything that will accept her adornments.
Throughout history, the most advanced and enduring civilizations evolved placing art at the top. Art only thrives in times of creative opportunity, when basic needs are met. Natalie’s work is a beacon for peace: a radical reallocation of value and energy into the higher mind, higher power, and an elevated humanity. One that prioritises that which truly inspires and connects, beyond ideology.
Her upcoming "Humanist" work reconfigures what it means to be an artist in a post AI world.
This isn’t just her personal story. It’s a call to remember who and what we truly are, and to build a cultural legacy that reflects it.
