Nathalie shares how her creative path took a profound turn after a diagnosis of advanced cancer in 2009. What began as a meditative drawing practice during treatment became a powerful tool for navigating recovery, depression, and PTSD in the years that followed. We talk about the role of art and spiritual practice in healing, the courage it takes to transform suffering into creative expression, and how Nathalie’s work continues to connect storytelling, activism, and the natural world.</p>","author_name":"Alexis Halkovic"}
