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.

My art is available in boutiques throughout Georgia. You can purchase prints and note cards, or place custom watercolor orders in our 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. And then working with community development alongside local governments and communities to create a better quality of life has made a sense of place even more important to me.

Belonging to a place, even if it was for a season of life, a particular moment in time, or a rite of passage, is vital to 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 said I want you to paint one for me. So I painted hundreds of homes for family and friends, and word of mouth spread over time, and I learned along the way.

Now, fast-forward to today. I am a watercolor artist specializing in painting homes, churches, wedding venues, vacation spots, 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 know that it was my home when I was a teenager, or that’s where we got married, or that was our first home, or that this is my favorite place to go with my family and create memories together. It’s an awesome feeling to be able to create that for someone.

You’ll find my artwork at Lake Oconee in 44 Marketplace, 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, at the Muddy Mercantile inside of Swints Candies in Forsyth, and in Bolingbroke Antiques in Macon. You’ll also always find us at the Mistletoe Market in Perry the weekend before Thanksgiving, at Perry’s Art in the Park in the fall, at Christmas Made in the South in Macon the beginning of November, at the Georgia Strawberry Festival in Reynolds 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.
