March 2026: Go Touch Grass

learn more
Thanks for stopping by my corner of the internet!

I'm Natalie Rotramel, blooming where I'm planted in So. IL.

Here in the land of Poor White Trash, I'm crafting new life from what has been discarded. With a fresh perspective towards the otherwise overlooked, maybe we can learn to see hidden parts of our own nature with curiosity and compassion.


Only then, can we find what needs to change...

and grow from there.

Land Acknowledgment

Land Acknowledgment

Land Acknowledgment

The land I live on and explore here has historically included Osage, Kaskaskia, and Kickapoo territories, and is crossed by a portion of the Trail of Tears. I feel such gratitude and respect for these landscapes and their traditional custodians, and deeply mourn what was lost


. This site is a starting point to learning about the land you are on.

Our Impact

Land Acknowledgment

Land Acknowledgment

Every purchase and encouraging word helps my creativity take root further from the beaten path into someplace worth going: artwork beyond being "inspired by nature" towards actively helping it. 


Here's hoping that together, we can start shifting the mainstream consumer mindset towards something radically regenerative. 


Your support is part of the cycle that brings light to what grows here - thank you!

A Promise

Land Acknowledgment

A Promise

 I will always give consideration to my materials and process to ensure I am part of the change I wish to see in the world, and will be updating them as I grow and (un)learn along the way. 


I also vow to never use AI in any of my art or writing; the harmful environmental impacts of data centers are well known, and personally, the work of creativity is irreplaceable for clarifying my own thoughts and point of view.
