Muralist | Fine Artist
Natalie Gabriel is a muralist and fine artist based in California. She specializes in large-scale sunset murals in aerosol as well as portraiture and loves to fill the world with color through spray-painted gradients.
Through a combination of large-scale outdoor and indoor murals, as well as fine art paintings, she enhances environments. She celebrates moments where colors light up the sky and consciousness shifts, depicting an elevated sense of beauty in her paintings and murals.
Born and raised in San Diego, Natalie received her Bachelor in Fine Arts from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco in 2017. Natalie has spent the past decade studying and working in San Francisco and is inspired by early street culture and the Bay Area graffiti scene.
Natalie’s recent works put the culmination of her training and passions on full display by fusing realistic portraiture into her colorful land and seascapes in aerosol, as seen notably in her “Carol Doda” mural (2022) and “Someone for Everyone” series (2024).
Her mural of Carol Doda on Columbus Avenue in North Beach and coinciding unveiling event were featured in The San Francisco Chronicle, Hoodline, SFist, 48Hills, BrokeAssStuart, and the podcast North Beach Now.

Services
Murals
My favorite thing to do is paint murals! I am happy to work on projects of all kinds including wall artwork for your business, large public projects, as well as private interior or exterior murals. I design and execute a variety of styles and content. I always love painting sunsets, landscapes, portraits, and abstract works.
Creative Consultation
I am much better over the phone or in person! Do you have a wall, space, or project in mind that would be easier to talk through? If you are in the Bay Area I offer free in-person creative consultations. Otherwise, photos and a phone call work great too!
Paintings
I love to share beauty in as many ways as possible and have available paintings and prints on my shop page. I also take on commission paintings with specific requests when available.
Charcoal Drawings
A sentimental medium for me is realistic charcoal drawings. Have a special someone alive or passed, human or animal you would like to celebrate? I am always open to this type of commission. Feel free to browse the charcoal drawing portion of my portfolio for examples!
Specialized Commissions
With a BFA in painting, I am versatile and skilled in creating likeness and realism, while also loving to push myself in new mediums. I will put a spray paint gradient on pretty much anything. I have created customized works on skateboards, bottles, wood panels, and more, and always happy to try something new!
Lettering
I am detail-oriented and can paint letters. If your business needs a new sign and you have a graphic or font in mind, I would love to help. However, please come with your text ready, I do not offer graphic or logo design.
