Natalya Khorover Natalya Khorover
Teaching Artist
Repurposed media artist
Natalya Khorover’s art practice stems from a need to create beauty from that which has been discarded.

Striving to lessen plastic pollution and overconsumption drives her creativity. Sewing, layering and stitching repurposed materials provides an additional level of uniqueness.

Khorover earned her BFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. Following careers in the New York City fashion and film industries, she embarked on her solo journey as a studio artist. Her work has been exhibited in Dairy Barn’s biennial Quilt National exhibition thrice, and Quilts=Art=Quilts at the Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center. Her site-specific installations from single-use plastic waste have been exhibited at ArtsWestchester in White Plains, NY and Tilly Foster Farm Museum in Putnam County, NY. She is a member of Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA), Surface Design Association (SDA), the Katonah Museum Artist Association (KMAA) and the Silvermine Guild of Artists.

Sharing her expertise by teaching and lecturing on mixed-media art techniques, the creative process and inspiration is Khorover’s way of making sure art and craft is accessible to everyone.
