About
Natalie V. Grant is an African American artist from Brooklyn, NY. In 2020, she received her BFA in Photography & Video from the School of Visual Arts. She works primarily in photography and is a self-taught illustrator and textile artist. Grant’s work is informed by her passion for raising awareness of stereotypes and injustice within the black community. Her work can be described as personal and meaningful. She cares deeply about this because she believes it’s essential for everyone to come together as a society.
Throughout college, Grant perfected her “In Hair We Trust” series. She turned this project into an installation and was featured at the SVA Mentor Show at SVA Chelsea Gallery. In addition, she planned and curated her first solo show, “Beyond Our Skin.” The exhibition dedicated the Black Lives Matter Movement, during the Juneteenth weekend, while located in Brooklyn, NY, at Stratosphere Studios. Grant's goal is to remind African Americans of their worth. At the same time, stressing to her viewers the importance of equality.
