Hey! I’m Natalie Bradley, once a wedding planner based in Athens, and now I’m a watercolor artist living in Perry, Georgia. My husband, Edward Bradley, manages our operations at Natalie Bradley Home and our daughter, Reese, is usually at markets working with me.

My art is available in boutiques throughout Georgia. You can purchase prints, decor and art cards, or place a custom watercolor order in my shop online. You’ll also find us at markets throughout central Georgia.

Growing up with a single mother who was (and still is) an interior designer, I lived and breathed beautiful home design, decor, and architecture. Also, growing up in the church and having that extended family made me not only love the beauty of churches, but it gave me a sense of place.

I owned an event planning company for years and planned hundreds of weddings and special events. Then working in community development alongside local governments and communities to create vibrant communities and better quality of life for people has made experiencing sense of place even more important to me.

Belonging to a place, even if it was for a certain season of life, a particular moment in time, or a rite of passage, is vital to each of us as human beings. When we look at art that reflects these places, the memories immediately come flooding in and it almost feels like we’re there again. I love that.

In the summer of 2016, I had this strange pull to paint our home in Athens, and I honestly didn’t really know what I was doing. I had no experience with watercolor. In fact, the first time I tried it, I hated it, but I kept coming back to it for some reason. I was very intimidated, but I kept trying. It took me multiple attempts to paint that home and then I was very proud of it. I put it out on my personal Facebook page, and all of these friends asked me to paint one for them. So I painted hundreds of homes for family and friends, and word of mouth spread over time. I took a lot of one-on-one classes with professional artists, and I learned along the way.

Now, fast-forward to today. I am a watercolor artist specializing in painting homes, churches, wedding venues, college campuses, vacation spots, communities and hometowns. Essentially, I capture a special place in your memory and create a watercolor painting for you.

It is my ultimate goal to be artfully skilled at telling the story of a place through watercolor so that when someone sees it, they immediately remember the memories that were made there. It’s an incredible feeling to be able to create that for someone.

You’ll find my artwork at Lake Oconee in 44 Marketplace, at Plainjane Designs in Athens, in Americus at The Visitors Center and at Gammage Printing, at Hello Lois in Bishop, The Collective in Washington, at Red Dirt Vagabond in Thomaston, and in Bolingbroke Antiques in Macon. You’ll also always find us at the Mistletoe Market in Perry the weekend before Thanksgiving, at Christmas Made in the South in Macon the beginning of November, and at the Perry Dogwood Festival in the spring.

Walmart even commissioned me to create a mural featuring local landmarks in Stockbridge, Georgia. It is displayed in the vestibule entering the grocery market side of the Walmart store on Hudson Bridge Road.

to create a mural featuring downtown Perry leading to the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter. It is displayed in the downtown Perry, Georgia Visitors Center inside Perry City Hall.
