Profile of Nat Gillis: Pilot, Poet, Photographer

It’s with a heavy heart I post this piece today, in remembrance of Nat Gillis — a friend, fellow creative soul and shining light who died Monday June 17, 2024, when her aircraft crashed in Albany, NY. I had the fortune of writing a profile about Nat for Kootenay Mountain Culture for their Summer 2023 issue. I wanted to share more about Nat so I’m posting a excerpt below with a link to the full article so that you can learn more about Nat’s journey and see some of her gorgeous photographs.

Film Project: Celebrating Mountain Women

Every once in awhile a project comes along that allows you to tap into your knowledge, passion and skills in the most wonderful way. When a local filmmaker with Banff Lodging Co. approached me about consulting on and assisting with a film about inspirational mountain women, I was immediately intrigued. Fast-forward a few months and the project is now out in the world!
