NATALIE RAFEEDIE​

​

A visionary artist who paints the melodies of life, translating the symphony of sound and emotion into a vibrant palette of color.

Originally from California and now based in St. Petersburg, Florida, I transitioned from a 15 year career in corporate finance and government contracting to a practice rooted in expressive, sensory-driven painting. Following my 2021 diagnosis of autism and ADHD, I turned to art as a transformative outlet, discovering a visual language that reflects the way I uniquely experience the world.

​

My work explores perception, emotion, and energetic movement through fluid forms and layered textures. As a synesthete who experiences sound as color, I translate music into acrylic painting compositions that merge rhythm, vibrancy, and atmospheric depth. Influences from the natural world and cosmic imagery often appear throughout my collections, blending grounded familiarity with expansive, dreamlike elements.​

​

Art is my bridge to others, a conduit for sharing the beauty and depth of the human experience beyond words. I invite viewers to approach my work intuitively, where sound, sensation, sensory, and emotion converge in a harmony of expression. Each painting is an invitation to connect, reflect, and experience the unseen melodies woven through our shared world.​
