About Nathalie

My name is Nathalie Gribinski, and I am a French-American professional artist and graphic designer based in Chicago. For more than thirty years, I have worked in both the fine art and graphic design worlds, building a career that combines creativity, visual communication, and technical expertise.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design from Columbia College Chicago and have worked on projects ranging from branding and publications to advertising and digital media. Alongside my design career, I have continuously developed my fine art practice. My work has been exhibited in galleries, collected internationally, and is represented on several online art platforms.

As an artist, I am driven by curiosity and a desire to keep learning. I believe that creativity is a lifelong journey and that every person has the ability to develop artistic confidence with the right guidance. My goal as a tutor is to share not only professional techniques but also the joy of creating, experimenting, and discovering new ways of seeing the world.

Whether you are taking your very first lesson or looking to refine advanced skills, I bring decades of professional experience, patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for helping others grow creatively.

Art and design have been my life for more than thirty years. As both a professional artist and graphic designer, I have learned that creativity is not a mysterious talent reserved for a few people—it is a skill that can be developed, strengthened, and enjoyed.

My lessons bridge two worlds that are often taught separately: the freedom of fine art and the precision of graphic design. Students learn not only how to draw, paint, or use professional design software, but also why images communicate, how color influences emotion, how composition guides the eye, and how visual decisions create meaning. Whether we are working with acrylics, ink, mixed media, Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign, every technique serves a larger purpose: helping you communicate visually with confidence.

I teach beginners, experienced artists, students, and creative professionals. Some want to paint for the first time. Others want to improve their technical skills, prepare a portfolio, strengthen their design abilities, or rediscover their creativity after years away from art. Every lesson is adapted to your goals, your pace, and the way you learn best.

I don't believe in teaching students to paint like me. My goal is to help you understand the principles behind successful artwork so you can develop your own artistic voice. Together we will explore observation, color, composition, rhythm, balance, visual storytelling, and creative problem-solving in a relaxed, encouraging environment where curiosity is valued more than perfection.

Whether your ambition is to become a better artist, a stronger designer, or simply someone who enjoys creating, I will give you both the technical foundation and the confidence to keep growing long after our lessons are over.
