Hello! This is Nathalie, and I'm delighted to have you here.
Here's a bit about me: I was born and raised in Haiti (je parle francais; mwen danse an kreyol) and have spent the last 8 years living and working in New York City as an architectural designer and a visual artist.
As a visual artist, my primary mediums are painting and creating sculptural and functional ceramic pieces using stoneware and porcelain. My artistic process can be both fast and slow; I allow myself ample time to explore ideas and concepts for pieces that carry historical and socio-political significance. However, I'm quite prolific when creating pieces that reflect my artistic freedom and design interests. I believe that art-for-art's-sake is just as important as art with deeper (or esoteric) meanings.
Currently, I'm employed as a Consultant at SOCOTEC, formerly known as VIDARIS. SOCOTEC specializes in projects related to envelope design, engineering, and preservation. In my role, I'm a part of their existing buildings department, focusing on façade repairs and restoration in compliance with New York City’s Local Law 11, commonly known as the Façade Inspection and Safety Program (FISP). My responsibilities include conducting site inspections using supported and suspended scaffolding, preparing FISP reports, and overseeing construction to ensure that façade repairs are carried out correctly. Through this experience, I gain unique perspectives of the city while hanging out on tall building facades, and I also uncover construction techniques and practices hidden within decades of exterior wall assemblies.
I periodically sell my artwork on this platform. If you're interested in learning more about my periodic releases, please don't hesitate to contact me at nathalie@jolivert.com.
I hope you enjoy exploring my website!
