Nathalie Coutou

Cultural Background: Mi’kmaq, 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!

Origine Culturelle: Mi’kmaq, Quebec

Nathalie Coutou est née sur une ferme avec un élevage de plus de 800 chiens de traîneaux, dans la province de Québec. Enfant, elle a eu la liberté d'explorer son imagination et a été inspirée par l'art de son père franco-européen aux côtés 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 début de sa vingtaine, elle a eu la chance de renouer avec son héritage autochtone grâce aux enseignements de l'aîné Mi'kmaq Stephen Augustine.
Deux de ses enfants sont de la nation Oji-Cree de Red Sucker Lake (territoire du Traité 5), et sont à la base de son inspiration pour avoir créé KHEWA, une galerie-boutique où rien n'est fabriqué à l'étranger. Son espoir était que KHEWA soit un endroit où ses enfants pourraient toujours être fiers de leur héritage autochtone. Depuis, elle crée des alliances entre des artistes autochtones, métis, 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 événements éducatifs sur diverses réalités interculturelles.
Diplômée en arts graphiques et parallèlement à son parcours entrepreneurial, Nathalie s'est impliquée dans de nombreux projets. Pendant huit ans, au cœur de son village, elle a organisé le "Festival des Récoltes de Wakefield", un événement réunissant des milliers de personnes pour célébrer la récolte 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.
