Nathalie Coutou
Cultural Background: Mi’kmaq Métis, Quebec
Nathalie Coutou was born on a farm with a kennel of over 800 sled dogs in the province of Quebec. As a child she was given the freedom to explore her imagination and was inspired by her French-European father’s artistry alongside her mother’s enduring joy and Mi’kmaq ancestry. Painting and sketching soon became her way to express herself.
In her early 20’s she was blessed to reconnect with her Indigenous heritage through the teachings of Mi’kmaq Elder Stephen Augustine. This began her inspiration to promote a spirit of inclusiveness and reconciliation to further nurture more understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.
Two of her children, who are Oji-Cree from Red Sucker Lake (Treaty 5 territory), were her inspiration to create KHEWA, a Gallery-Boutique where nothing is made overseas. Her hope was for KHEWA to be a place where her children could always be proud of their Indigenous heritage. Since this time, she has been creating alliances between Indigenous, Métis, Inuit artists and Canadian partners to promote Indigenous culture. In her Gallery-Boutique, she narrates ancestral stories, provides art workshops, and facilitates educational events on various cross-cultural realities.
As a graphic arts graduate and alongside her entrepreneurial career, Nathalie was involved in many projects. For eight years, in the heart of her village, she organized the “Wakefield Harvest Festival”, an event bringing together thousands of people to celebrate the harvest with the spirit of thankfulness.
In 2018 she launched COUTOU COLLECTION which features her artwork on wearable art that is made in Canada. Visit her website at www.nathaliecoutou.com. The image you are looking at may have been sublimated on her clothing line!
*****************************************
Nathalie Coutou est nĂ©e sur une ferme avec un Ă©levage de plus de 800 chiens de traĂ®neaux, dans la province de QuĂ©bec. Enfant, elle a eu la libertĂ© d’explorer son imagination et a Ă©tĂ© inspirĂ©e par l’art de son père franco-europĂ©en aux cĂ´tĂ©s de la joie de vivre de sa mère et d’ascendance Mi’kmaq. La peinture et les esquisses sont rapidement devenus sa façon de s’exprimer.
Au dĂ©but de sa vingtaine, elle a eu la chance de renouer avec son hĂ©ritage autochtone grâce aux enseignements de l’aĂ®nĂ© Mi’kmaq Stephen Augustine.
Deux de ses enfants sont de la nation Oji-Cree de Red Sucker Lake (territoire du TraitĂ© 5), et sont Ă la base de son inspiration pour avoir créé KHEWA, une galerie-boutique oĂą rien n’est fabriquĂ© Ă l’Ă©tranger. Son espoir Ă©tait que KHEWA soit un endroit oĂą ses enfants pourraient toujours ĂŞtre fiers de leur hĂ©ritage autochtone. Depuis, elle crĂ©e des alliances entre des artistes autochtones, mĂ©tis, inuits et des partenaires canadiens pour promouvoir la culture autochtone. Dans sa galerie, elle raconte des histoires ancestrales, offre des ateliers d’art, anime et facilite des Ă©vĂ©nements Ă©ducatifs sur diverses rĂ©alitĂ©s interculturelles.
DiplĂ´mĂ©e en arts graphiques et parallèlement Ă son parcours entrepreneurial, Nathalie s’est impliquĂ©e dans de nombreux projets. Pendant huit ans, au cĹ“ur de son village, elle a organisĂ© le « Festival des RĂ©coltes de Wakefield », un Ă©vĂ©nement rĂ©unissant des milliers de personnes pour cĂ©lĂ©brer la rĂ©colte dans un esprit de reconnaissance.
En 2018, elle a lancé sa ligne de vêtements équitable mettant en vedette plusieurs de ses magnifiques œuvres d’art intitulée « Collection Coutou ». Tout est fabriqué au Canada. L’image que vous regardez maintenant peut avoir été sublimée sur un vêtement ! Visitez son site internet www.nathaliecoutou.com.
