Nataly Kais, originally from Beirut, Lebanon, and shaped by her upbringing in Oman, journeyed to Canada to pursue her artistic aspirations. In 2020, she attained a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Drawing and Painting with a specialized focus on Digital Painting and Experimental Animation.
During her academic tenure at OCAD University, Nataly's artistic exploration revolved around humanity's relationship with the environment, particularly themes of sustainability. Her thesis showcased innovative use of materials such as mushrooms, mycelium, and wood hemp chips.
Since graduating, Nataly has made significant strides in the realm of multimedia installations on a global scale. Her experience at Moment Factory got her contributing to the realization of major projects, including Super Nintendo World in Hollywood, Harry Potter experiences, Newark Airport installations, Akadi Lumina, and more.
Beyond installations, Nataly has lent her artistic vision as an Art and Content Director to world tours and performances featuring celebrated artists like Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Conan Gray, Phish, U2, and KISS. Her contributions have solidified her standing as a creative luminary in the entertainment sphere.
Based in Ottawa since 2024, Nataly has transitioned from Moment Factory to pursue her innate passion for painting. Currently, she is engrossed in a series of paintings commissioned by University of Toronto.
