Natalka Pavlovsky

Natalka Pavlovsky is a first-generation Ukrainian-American whose creative life has orbited the twin lights of art and music. Growing up, she assumed that she would go to art school, but was informed she needed to get a university education. This led to an academic career in music, during which she never stopped making art. Shortly after retiring from teaching, she found herself back in front of her easel.

An educational Jersey Girl, Dr. Pavlovsky graduated from Rutgers University, then completed her graduate work at Princeton University, earning her Ph.D. in Musicology. She recently retired as Senior Professor of Music from Rowan College South Jersey. In addition to her lifelong passions for art and music, Natalka loves to spend time cooking, baking, or outdoors (preferably in a kayak, on a hiking trail, or in water). She and her husband have one adult son.
