Introducing Natalie and the Bovey Paradiso Art Collective!
Added: 02 October 2025
Whilst exhibitions and events are a focus for Paradiso, we’ve always wanted to create a welcoming space for our community to meet together socially on a regular basis and perhaps enjoy creative activities. So, we are very happy to introduce you to Natalie Naumann - a local lady who shares our ambitions and will soon be launching regular community art sessions in the gallery.
About Natalie
Natalie is incredibly passionate about making art accessible for all, particularly the younger generations, and as our new Art Facilitator she will be bringing the community together to celebrate all creatives and want-to-be creatives in our area.
Natalie is a local artist who predominantly works in water colour, her creative process is deeply intertwined with a profound connection to music, which she translates moving melodies and mood into her work, aiming to convey underlying feeling and not just visual appearance.
Coming Soon…
Natalie will soon be gathering a core collective of local creatives who will meet monthly to discuss the direction and art offerings which will take place in Paradiso as our community hub grows and expands. This gathering will be a great opportunity for local artists to come together and connect.
In addition to this, Art Wednesdays at Paradiso will provide a regular opportunity for our community to enjoy one another’s company. You do not need to have any art experience or even take part in the activity… Bovey Paradiso will welcome you!
Term Time:
Kid's Crafting Club - 9.45 - 10.45am.
Connections Adult Art 11am - 12.30.
School Holidays:
