She is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in philosophy and aesthetics in visual art from the Institute for  Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts\, headquartered in Maine (IDSVA). In her research\, she explores the  intersection of politics and cross-cultural art collaborations.  \nNatalie’s professional experience includes working as an international education and business consultant\,  art gallery owner\, and educator of arts and philosophy. She presented her work on the relations of arts\,  aesthetics\, and philosophy during her residences in Mexico and Italy\, as well as at institutions such as the  University of Tampa\, Eckerd College\, and the Museum of Fine Arts.   \n\n  \n\nРусский: Натали Велез переехала в Санкт-Петербург\, Флорида\, из Санкт-Петербурга\, Россия\, в 2009 году. Она получила степени бакалавра и магистра в Санкт-Петербургском государственном институте культуры. \nВ настоящее время Натали работает над кандидатской диссертацией по философии и эстетике изобразительного искусства в Институте докторских исследований в области визуальных искусств (IDSVA)\, расположенном в штате Мэн. Её исследование сосредоточено на пересечении политики и межкультурных художественных коллабораций. \nНатали является консультантом по международному образованию и бизнесу\, владеет галереей и активно занимается образовательной деятельностью в области искусства и философии. Она представляла свои работы\, посвящённые связям между искусством\, эстетикой и философией\, во время своих резиденций в Мексике и Италии\, а также в таких образовательных и культурных учреждениях\, как Университет Тампы\, Колледж Эккерд и Музей Изобразительных Искусств (MFA).
