Natalia was born in Russia and shortly thereafter her family moved to Sevastopol in the Ukraine. The city of Sevastopol has many archaeological ruins from the ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine cultures, and Natalia spent a lot of time exploring and playing among them. In this archaeologically rich environment her fascination with ancient art, culture and mythology developed.

While attending art school, Natalia realized that she wanted to spend her life in the world of art, but she discovered that there were few career opportunities in the art field available in the USSR. Instead, Natalia got her MA in history, and that give her an opportunity to work with ancient art and culture in Chersones Historical-Archaeological Museum and National Preserve in Crimea, Ukraine.

Even though she enjoyed her work, Natalia still longed for her own artistic self-expression, as well as for her personal freedom. In the USSR she could not explore the deeper meaning of art, spirituality, mystical traditions and religions that she was interested in. Natalia felt that life had a greater meaning than what Soviet ideology was offering to people, so she decided to immigrate to the United States.

As soon as Natalia arrived in San Francisco and adjusted to her new life, she continued her education in art at the College of Marin, as well as at the San Francisco Art Institute. She also started to attend workshops led by noted spiritual teachers. Natalia finished training in Transpersonal Psychology and Holotropic Breathwork with Stanislav Grof,MD, and training in Point Zero Painting (formerly "The Painting Experience") with Michele Cassou.

Through these experiences, Natalia expanded her understanding of mysticism, spirituality and creativity. Point Zero Method opened her eyes to what pure creativity is about and she started to spend most of her time painting and teaching process painting workshops in the US and abroad.

Natalia works in her studio in Fairfax, California. She can be contacted (nataliarosenfeld@hotmail.com ) for commissions (sculpture) and inquiries regarding Point Zero Painting workshops in any part of the globe.
