Nathalieโs 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 โa 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. Nathalieโs inner landscape shines through her artwork, which she shares with the world to help others overcome adversity. A committed environmentalist and supporter of womenโs empowerment. Nathalie plays a key role in a wide range of philanthropic initiatives, including Green Sakthi , a leading afforestation program in Tamil Nadu (India).
