Illustrations
It is true honor to bring someone’s words to life! I am grateful for work that feels like play and have recently illustrated two books, “God is Here” and “Our Name is Loved.” My natural artistic style lends itself to illustration as I work in a combination of pen and ink mixed with watercolors. For inquiries into any illustration work, please
-
It all begins with an idea. I love the design and sketching process. If you can write it, we can work together to create it!
-
Next, we must plan! Sizing is important. Color palettes are important. I love helping you achieve your dream vision for your book!
-
Illustration pricing will vary based on number of pages (paintings) required, sizing, and detail level. I require 30% down and the remainder upon completion. Please contact me directly for an estimate.

Next it is time to paint! I will complete all paintings on paper and you will receive all actual paintings. For an additional fee, digital scans can be provided as well. Illustrations vary in completion time based on size of the project!
“God is Here”
written by Sarah Blackwell, illustrated by Natalie Lodato
This beautiful book leads children and their parents through exploring God’s presence in our beautiful natural world.
““Working with Natalie is a dream. She beautifully brought my visions to life through her detailed yet whimsical illustrations. She is a wonderful collaborator who will work with you to get all the details just right for your project. I look forward to working with her again in the future!” - Sarah Blackwell
“Our Name is Loved”
written and illustrated by Natalie Lodato
This heart warming story reminds us all of our true name, Loved.
“I completed these illustrations for myself, truly, but I am a tough critic! The process of illustrating my own book was a true joy! I loved creating visual characters, designing their home, etc. It was a full creative process!” - Natalie Lodato
