In 2020, Alfonso received the South Florida Cultural Consortium award in recognition of her contributions to the arts. She has also been nominated for the Cultural Joan Mitchell Fellowship in 2021 and The United States Artist Fellowship for 2023-2024. Recently, she received the Artist Innovation Grant from the Broward Cultural Division, which supported her solo exhibition at The Frank C. Ortis Art Gallery. She has been chosen for Art in Public Places by Miami-Dade County, where she will present her inaugural public art project. She has also been selected for residency programs, including The Anderson Ranch, Atlantic Center for the Arts, Kinosaito, and Sweet Pass Sculpture School. Central to Alfonso’s practice is the exploration of unseen work and the exercise of emotional control. She leverages the qualities of invisibility and visibility as the foundations for her multidisciplinary approach, which encompasses drawings, installations, performances, and videos. Nathalie Alfonso resides and works in South Florida.
