Austin-born artist Natalie Frank lives and works in New York City.

From Texas Standard:

An Austin native is serving up the lesser-known fairy tales written by the Brothers Grimm — through art. Natalie Frank's fantastical and grisly paintings are on display at The Blanton Museum of Art in Austin, just a walk away from the Texas Standard Studios. 

Lauren Silverman, a visiting host for the Standard, went to check out the gallery.
