Natasha often refers to herself as "sweet, bubbly, loving and funny on the inside but spooky and terrifying on the outside".

She has shown her work all over Rhode Island, including Jamestown Art Center, Newport Art Museum, The World's Smallest Art Gallery, Spring Bull Gallery, DeBlois Gallery, Portsmouth Art Guild, Out Of The Box Studio & Gallery, Dark Arts Festival and Atrium Gallery in Providence.
Emily Hamel is a visual artist based in Attleboro, MA, with a focus on sublime fantasy portraiture creating symbolic animal and human coalescence.
She uses a variety of finely-honed techniques to create ethereal and, at times photorealistic, work. Her paintings are created with a mix of different techniques, giving a Surrealist integration of reality and dark fantasy. Hamel uses alcohol ink to create fluid background planes overlaid with detailed oil painting for the figurative imagery.
Influenced by science fiction within art and literature, including H.P. Lovecraft and H.R. Giger, as well as ideas of alchemy, tarot and mysticism, her works are often a dichotomy of beauty in life and symbolic death. She weaves images of skulls, skeletons and the macabre into her compositions.
Her approach brings together a precise, observational drawing practice and imaginative subject matter, united by an atmospheric, whimsical palette of color and pattern.
