Natalie Zellers is a fine artist, former graphic designer, and the founder of French 75 Art Studio.

It started with the kids.

While volunteering at AVOW, Natalie developed and led an art history program for children — and something unexpected happened. Watching them pick up a brush without fear, without judgment, without wondering if they were "good enough," reminded her of something she'd forgotten. That's what art is supposed to feel like.

Teaching those kids also rekindled something else — a deep love of art history she hadn't visited since college. From cave paintings to street art, every era has a story. And watching children light up when they hear those stories? That became the foundation of everything.

French 75 Art Studio exists to give that feeling back — to kids who still have it, and adults who lost it somewhere along the way.

Also, she ran out of space at home. 😄

Based in Naples, FL. Teaching the way she paints — with intention, without rules, and with a French 75 nearby. 🍋
