Natasha is a multidisciplinary artist, born and raised in Fiji. She hails from the beautiful islands of Kadavu and Vanua Levu. Natasha currently lives in Aotearoa, New Zealand with her husband and their daughter on their family farm within the boundaries of Ngāti Rākaiwhakairi lands. Here they enjoy raising animals, growing food, planting trees and living close to nature.

Ratuva's creative practice spans the mediums of photography, moving image, digital art and masi or Fijian barkcloth. In recent years Ratuva has brought masi to the forefront of her creative practice. Made from the paper mulberry tree masi is a treasured ceremonial item ever present throughout a person's life carrying deep cultural significance. Ratuva is particularly interested in the complex visual languages that adorn masi and embody the sacred connection to the vanua (land) and iTaukei cosmology.

For time immemorial masi has been adorned with plant and earth based inks and dyes reinforcing its connection to the vanua. Like her ancestors living and passed she also hand paints with natural pigments and dyes to reinterpret traditional patterns within contemporary compositions.
