Natasha Wescoat ORIGINAL Painting to Benefit United Way LA #BWELA 

Why Wescoat's Art is a wise investment:

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

 Self-propelled by both ambition and furious inspiration, Natasha Wescoat began selling her work online at age 22. Through the use of Social Media and auction sites like eBay, she began her art career. Since 2004, over 1000 original works have graced private and corporate collections worldwide and Wescoat has garnered attention from high profile studios and classrooms around the world.

It is because of her unconventional approach to marketing and promoting her art that she has been able to support herself for over 5 years and been approached to work with shows like ABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition, a Lifetime Channel original movie and the blockbuster film, Marley & Me. As part of Abrakadoodle's artist of distinction program, Wescoat's work is being taught in schools nationwide.

Natasha is active in a variety of groups, donating work to worthy causes like Social Media For Social Change, Twestival and the Black Card Circle Foundation. In 2007, Natasha was named "Emerging Artist and Trendsetter" by Art Business News, the largest trade publication in the U.S. In February 2009, the artist exhibited her work at the Ritz-Carlton. Her art continues to be requested by significant players in the entertainment and new media scene. Her licensed art is now becoming part of merchandise around the nation, being found in stores like Barnes & Noble, Bed Bath & Beyond and Aarons Brothers art and framing.

The value of Natasha's original artworks have increased substantially over the past 8 years and is expected to rise, increasing the value of the piece you purchase significantly.

• "I am the owner of an "extraordinary interpretation" of an Abrakadoodle in Denver CO. I teach a "Kids on Canvas" class using acrylics at a number of community centers. A month or two ago, one of my youngest students skipped into her Thursday night class "beaming" because she received a reply to her email from "Natasha Wescoat". The little girl (and her mother) were VERY EXCITED to hear from you. She was very encouraged by your remarks. The "Natasha Wescoat" doodle remains one of our program favorites ... all have excellent creative interpretations following your inspiration. Thanks for all that you do. - Lynette Guenther Executive Director - Abrakadoodle Art Education
