About Nataliearth.
Nataliearth is a small, local business inspired by self-growth, reflections, and the natural beauty of our home, Kauaʻi. Our art invites you to slow down, take a moment to breathe, and reconnect with the ʻāina that sustains us. Our jewelry is handcrafted and inspired by the harmony of the earth—the sun, ocean, freshwater streams, plants, flowers, and mountains. We hope our creations bring you peace, deepen your connection to the land, and serve as gentle reminders to be kinder to yourself. Mahalo for supporting our journey!
A little about Natalie.
Natalie Nishioka’s love for nature and art started at age 11 during a trip to Alaska, igniting a lifelong passion for the outdoors. Self-taught since 18, she dedicated over a decade to capturing Kaua’i’s stunning landscapes, developing a unique style that expresses emotion through the natural world. Inspired by Instagram and a transformative high school photography class, she turned her passion into a full-time career in 2023 with the launch of Nataliearth LLC. Alongside her photography, she creates Nataliearth Jewelry—adornments inspired by earth’s elements like shells, gemstones, and pearls collected from her adventures on Kaua’i.
Her work embodies her deep connection to the land, culture, and community, as well as her commitment to sustainability. An active volunteer with organizations like the Waipā Foundation and Hoʻomalu Ke Kai, she focuses on environmental restoration, beach clean-ups, and community nourishment through poi making. Her eco-friendly approach includes recycled packaging, responsibly sourced materials, and powering her business with renewable energy. Through her art and jewelry, Natalie aims to encourage others to connect with nature, add vibrant colors to their lives, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
