Illustration for brands, books & packaging.
Watercolour and acrylic illustration built around storytelling, character andnature — created for print, packaging and publishing.
I'm Natasha Menon, an artist and illustrator based in Goa, India. I work primarily in watercolour and acrylic, creating illustrations that explore symbolism, storytelling and the quiet beauty found in nature and everyday moments. Whether I'm illustrating a single image or developing an entire collection, I'm interested in creating work that feels cohesive, thoughtful and emotionally engaging.
My portfolio includes an ongoing reinterpretation of the Major Arcana through a contemporary lens, alongside botanical studies and observational work. I'm available for publishing, editorial, packaging, licensing and commissioned illustration projects.

Featured Project - Reimagining the Major Arcana
My ongoing Major Arcana series is a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional Tarot, exploring each archetype through symbolism, emotion and narrative.
Developing the series has required creating a consistent visual language across multiple illustrations while allowing every piece to stand on its own. The project demonstrates my approach to character, composition and storytelling—qualities that translate naturally into publishing, editorial and licensing work.
Botanical Illustration - From Original Painting to Product
Alongside my narrative work, I create botanical illustrations that celebrate colour, texture and form. Each piece is painted by hand before being professionally digitised for reproduction across packaging, stationery and licensed products.
