Natalie Hope McDonald lives and works in Philadelphia. For many years she exhibited her paintings in group and solo shows. In recent years, the artist began exploring photography as a way to document urban life in its most immediate digital form. She now photographs urban and small town landscapes and its people. McDonald relies on natural light, shadow and graffiti to capture lonely, pensive scenes of modern American life.

Her website is under construction:
