I'm Natalie Carmella von Schleinitz
Welcome to my studio
I’ve always been drawn to animals, not just how they look, but how they feel. There’s a quiet honesty to them, something unguarded and real that people naturally connect to.
In my work, I focus on that sense of softness. Even in animals we see as strong or wild, I’m drawn to the gentler side, the calm in their expression, the kindness in their eyes.
My work is meant to be lived with, pieces that feel at home in your space from the moment you see them.
Drawn In, Without Knowing Why
There’s often a quiet moment of recognition when someone connects with a piece, something instinctive that’s hard to explain. It isn’t just the subject or the colour, but the feeling behind it that holds attention over time.

Your Beloved Animal, Reimagined in Colour
Commissions allow for a more personal connection to my work. Each piece begins with a conversation and develops intuitively from there, guided by feeling, colour, and the presence of the emerging animal. While each work is unique, it always carries the same sense of softness, emotion, and connection found throughout my practice.
Limited commissions are accepted throughout the year.
