Hello!

I’m Natalie Martinez, the owner of Lafayette Lettering. Since I can remember, art has been the leading force in my life. There hasn’t been a single art form that I didn’t immediately cling to and make my latest obsession. There is so much beauty in creating, no matter the process or end product. I’ve always tried my hardest to put the importance of creating at the forefront of my life, but have sometimes failed to do so.

I started Lafayette Lettering to ensure that I prioritized creating. As an art teacher, I’ve worked tirelessly to ignite passion within my students to create meaningful, intentional, and engaging works of art. In the process of doing so, I forgot to do the same for myself. I’ve pushed and motivated them towards a dream that I, myself, was still wishing for in regards to my own life.

I’m so thrilled to finally be dedicating my time and energy towards my lifelong dream of becoming an artist. Sharing my work with my community has given me so much joy and happiness. I would love to share some of that with you.
