Bio

I am Natasha Rampersad, a prophetic artist from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. My artworks show the realities of the Kingdom of God in this natural realm. It is a tangible, visible expression of the heart of the Father for a person, situation, community etc. I mainly work in acrylic paints and occasionally in soft pastels, coloured pencils and watercolour. I am presently an Art teacher and have been for the past 18 years.
Throughout my childhood, though there were very turbulent situations at home, I was never enticed nor felt “allowed by God” to participate in the popular teenage activities of my peers. In fact, those years were very decisive for my spiritual life because I began to study the Word of God in great depth on my own, which laid a very solid foundation that has kept me grounded up until now. It was also at this time that I studied Art in school and began to realise that God had given me a talent that I could use to bless others, bless myself and bring Him glory.
As I grew older, got married and faced many more battles, I learned to fully surrender my life to God. My prayer life increased and I began to paint out of my experiences and out of the victories won and lessons learnt. Learning to be still and hear his voice daily, and then learning to silence the voices of the enemy so that only His voice was always clear, was my escape and my refuge. In creating my artwork, I ask Him first to show me a picture of what He wants to say to the receiver, and then I paint.
I am a prophetic artist both in visual art and in dance. My early foundation in the Word of God serves as the standard and the essence of the messages represented in every piece. As a prophetic artist, I create with the Holy Spirit and He is my source of inspiration. It is my hope and life-long prayer that whoever receives my art or wherever it is displayed, that the love and presence of the Father would be felt and there would be transformation.
