Natalie Manes is a printmaker and weaver based in Philadelphia.

Drawn to both practices for their emphasis on process, they explore themes of Queer liberation within the self and the collective. Intertwining historical references and contemporary narratives in their work, Natalie aims to create new spaces for existence outside and beyond the binary. With a deep love for a piece of copper and some 8/4 cotton, Natalie’s work is heavily influenced by bodies of writing based in Queer resistance, resilience, and remembrance. 

Natalie graduated from Tyler School of Art and Architecture with a BFA in Printmaking in May 2025. When not in the studio, they enjoy riding their bicycle, spending time outside, reading, and collecting antique Toby mugs.
