Welcome, Natasha Cunningham
This month we are thrilled to welcome visual artist, graphic designer, and digital collagist Natasha Cunningham to Mendola Artists. Hailing from Kingston, Jamaica with a background in Visual Communication, she has over ten years of experience working in the local Advertising space before transitioning to operating her creative studio.
If you are a Photoshop user, you may remember seeing Natasha’s featured artwork as the Adobe Photoshop 2022 Splash Screen. Her body of work revolves around portraiture and is a testament to her passion for collage art, narrative expression, and introspection. She has worked with renowned brands and organizations such as Adobe, Netflix, Apple, Essence, Patagonia, Hulu, Amazon Publishing, Rolling Stone, and Marvel Studios, among others.

Kat Reeder: My Heritage Lives in My Art
For Hispanic Heritage Month we handed the mic to Kat Reeder, a Peruvian-American illustrator who joined Mendola Artists earlier this year. Kat specializes in posters, advertising, products, packaging, and lifestyle illustration. Born in Peru, raised in Miami, and now living in Hawaii, her blended cultural influences culminate in an art style that is uniquely hers. Read about how these elements of Kat’s heritage live in her art, in her own words.
Lulu Dubreuil X Old Whaling Co
If you think it’s too early for anything Christmas, this stunning collaboration will change your mind! Lulu Dubreuil worked with Old Whaling Co, a woman-owned bath and home brand, on their 2025 holiday packaging refresh.
Lulu created original artwork to pair with the brand’s limited edition holiday scents: Coastal Christmas, Sugar Plum Ferry, and Yuletide Glow. Her whimsical designs are used on the packaging for bath bombs, body butters, candles and bar soaps, bringing a sense of nostalgia, magic, and festive joy to the collection. See more here.
