Natalie Cederquist Levin

Natalie Levin is a Tucson, Arizona-based artist, sculptor, author and designer with more than five decades of experience spanning fine and commercial art. A creative from early childhood, she launched her professional career as a teenager and went on to run a graphic design storefront in San Diego for twelve years, all while continuing to exhibit her own original artwork. She studied Fine Art at the University of California, Davis, before earning a Bachelor's degree with high honors in the same discipline from UC Santa Barbara. Today, as co-owner of Nataji, LLC, she works across an unusually broad range of media, including bronze cast figurative sculpture, painting, watercolor, portraiture, mixed media, and photography, while taking commissions and collaborating with clients around the world. Levin's body of work is deeply rooted in spirituality, emotional depth, and the exploration of inner life, with recurring themes of healing, nature, peace, and self-love. Her bronze sculpture and painting have been featured at wellness-oriented venues such as Canyon Ranch Resort in Tucson, reflecting her intent to create art that inspires healing, fosters compassion and connection across cultures and belief systems. Beyond her visual art, she is an accomplished author, having written and illustrated three heart-healthy cookbooks in the late 1980s and early 1990s, along with her more recent project, SOULS OF LIGHT: 50 Spiritual Luminaries of the 20th Century — a series of fifty hand-drawn pencil portraits honoring influential spiritual teachers from around the world. She encourages emerging artists, to resist self-doubt, embrace their own voice, and never let outside opinions limit their potential. She is honored to be a visionary artist, and to inspire others to connect to the divine within. In recognition of her decades-long contribution to the arts and her continued impact on the Tucson creative community, she has been selected as an Influential Woman representing Tucson, Arizona for 2026.
