{"title":"Nathalie Coutou | Canadian Indigenous Art","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNathalie Coutou\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNathalie Coutou was born on a farm in Quebec that was home to more than 800 sled dogs. Growing up surrounded by nature, she was encouraged to explore her imagination and creativity from an early age. Inspired by her French-European father's artistic talents and her mother's joyful spirit and Mi'kmaq heritage, Nathalie discovered a passion for drawing and painting as a powerful form of self-expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn her early twenties, Nathalie reconnected with her Indigenous roots through the teachings of respected Mi'kmaq Elder Stephen Augustine. This experience deepened her understanding of her heritage and inspired a lifelong commitment to fostering inclusiveness, reconciliation, and meaningful connections between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer two children, who are Oji-Cree from Red Sucker Lake in Treaty 5 Territory, became the inspiration behind \u003cstrong\u003eKHEWA Gallery-Boutique\u003c\/strong\u003e. Nathalie envisioned KHEWA as a place where her children—and others—could celebrate and take pride in Indigenous culture and identity. Through the gallery, she has built partnerships with Indigenous, Métis, Inuit, and Canadian artists, helping to showcase Indigenous culture through art, storytelling, workshops, and educational events that encourage cross-cultural understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA graduate in graphic arts and a dedicated entrepreneur, Nathalie has been involved in numerous community initiatives. For eight years, she organized the popular \u003cstrong\u003eWakefield Harvest Festival\u003c\/strong\u003e, an annual event that brought thousands of people together to celebrate the harvest season in a spirit of gratitude and community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2018, Nathalie launched the \u003cstrong\u003eCOUTOU COLLECTION\u003c\/strong\u003e, a line of Canadian-made wearable art featuring her original artwork. Her vibrant designs reflect her artistic vision and cultural influences, bringing Indigenous-inspired creativity into everyday life. Many of the images featured in her artwork can also be found on her clothing collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo learn more about Nathalie and her work, visit \u003cstrong\u003enathaliecoutou.com\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"matted-and-framed-art-cards-nathalie-coutou-collection","title":"NATHALIE COUTOU Framed Art Card Collection -  Choose from a selection of 8 different prints","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Double matted \u0026amp; framed in a modern composite frame, measuring 12 x 14 3\/8 inches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Each framed art card comes with corner protectors and is labelled Made in Canada.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe artist's biography appears on the back of the frame.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3d5a3f;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIMPORTANT\u003c\/strong\u003e:  TO SELECT, \u003cstrong\u003eCLICK ON THE DROPDOWN MENU FIRST\u003c\/strong\u003e.  THEN THE CORRESPONDING PICTURE WILL LOAD.  Do not click on the picture first, or the correct print name will not populate in the drop down menu. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Matted and Framed Art Cards\" href=\"https:\/\/northoffifty.com\/collections\/matted-and-framed-art-cards\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMore details and images of finished products, follow this link.
