Nathalie Latham

A polyglot with a passion for Asian culture, Nathalie Latham enjoyed success as a photographer with a first solo show in 2007, Love It & Leave โ€“ Australiaโ€™s Creative Diaspora at the Australian National Portrait Gallery. Her work was featured in Le Monde 2 (France), Domus (Italy), Frankfurt Allgemeine (Germany), and The Australian. She also produced & directed music and arts documentaries (Arte, BBC, Mezzo).

Nathalieโ€™s successful career as a photographer and documentary filmmaker was brought to a sudden halt when she was diagnosed with cancer in 2009. Throughout her treatment and seven-year recovery, she began to experiment with drawing in a spiritual quest that sought to illustrate her inner world and support her healing. Today, she describes her drawings as โ€œa prayer for the observer and for the worldโ€. Her upcoming collection titled Illuminating the Journey: Transformation & Navigating Extreme Adversity depicts the healing journey that returned her to life. Nathalieโ€™s inner landscape shines through her artwork, which she shares with the world to help others overcome adversity. A committed environmentalist and supporter of womenโ€™s empowerment. Nathalie plays a key role in a wide range of philanthropic initiatives, including Green Sakthi , a leading afforestation program in Tamil Nadu (India).
