“Light bends differently underwater. The speed of sound moves faster than in the air. When the body is submerged, the eyes lose their focus — hearing becomes muffled and spatial awareness alters. Natalie Nixon floats in this medium to expand her perceptions. She swims to gain stamina.”

I’m inspired by Sade; weeding (it’s amazing the thoughts that come to mind while digging through dirt!); and the ocean.
When I’m having a creative block, I swim!
My favorite ad campaign Dove’s Real Beauty Sketches… not an ad in a traditional sense but definitely took on a life of its own. Very human!
Favorite color deep orange… and deep pink!
Best advice I ever received never underestimate the value of ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ – from my dad.
The very next thing on my to do list is pack for Finland.
A least once, everyone should rappel off the side of a mountain!
The best way to unwind after a long day is a lavender scented bubble bath.
If I had a one year sabbatical, I would go back to the Maldives, swim every day in the Indian Ocean, eat super healthy, and write a work of fiction.
The most overused word in meetings today is innovative.
At the moment, I’m obsessed with House of Cards!!!!!!!!
I’d define my personal style as sultry-athletic… and nothing some red lipstick can’t help!
I’m happiest when I am relaxing with my husband, John.
I wish I could tell jokes without spoiling the ending or getting the order mixed up!
I’m proud that I taught myself how to do a flip turn to add into my swimming laps by watching YouTube videos.
The last stamp on my passport Monaco and the UK.

When I look back on my career I am really happy. I gave most everything I had an itch for a try- except for professional beach volley ball. That was in my 20’s. But that’s ok. I hope my step-daughter Sydney gives that a try!
I still hope to love getting older.
