Welcome to Nat's Sidewalk Stories!

I'm Nat Kalbach, an artist, writer, and historian based in the vibrant city of Jersey City. My work revolves around art, sidewalk stories, and historic preservation, capturing the essence of urban life through various paint mediums and collage materials.

My artistic journey delves deep into the heart of urban subject matter, with a keen focus on the dynamic nature of city life. Each of my vibrant paintings incorporates extensive research and storytelling, weaving thought-provoking narratives that invite viewers into a rich and immersive visual experience.

At Nat's Sidewalk Stories, I share my creative adventures with you. My first book, Artful Adventures in Mixed Media, delved into art and techniques inspired by observation and experience, showcasing my passion for mixed media art and storytelling.

Now, I'm excited to introduce my new book, If These Walls Could Talk, a nonfiction historical novel that explores the memories of a house through different times in Jersey City. While each book explores different aspects of creativity and storytelling, they are connected through their exploration of observation, experience, and the art of storytelling.
