Nathalie
Ishizuka is a Franco-Japanese from New York. She enjoys writing and capturing
movement such as bull fighting in watercolor. Having had too many years
of study in other areas of her life, she has refused any drawing or watercolor
lessons. Instead, to teach herself, she learns from the work of artists
she admires most. Moved by the writing of St. Exupery's The Little Prince,
by the simplicity and humor of Jean-Jacques Sempe's Le Petit Nicolas,
and from Savignac's unique ability to capture a single idea visually,
she gathered the courage to illustrate a little series of her own with
messages she holds dear.
Nathalie received her M.B.A. from Hautes Etudes Commerciales (HEC)
France, M.A.L.D. from the Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy (administered
in cooperation with Harvard), and a B.A. Political Science summa cum laude
from Amherst College.
