In 2019, Nathalie submited her painting of Neil from her 'Faces of Guildford' series into the BP Award. He was preselected and went on to be in the last 100 portraits out of 2538 internationnaly. 45 were selected for the exhibition.

2015
Here is Nathalie's portrait of Bob Geldof which has been selected for inclusion in the 2015 BP Portrait Award Exhibition 2015.

Nathalie says "After meeting Bob Geldof in 2014 at Guilfest, a music festival where the Boom Town Rats were playing, I knew what I wanted to capture in his portrait. What I felt very strongly about was his strength and his vulnerability. Bob is portrayed as the person rather than as a rock star. The emptiness next to him represents the losses he experienced through the years. Loss being an inevitable part of life, I believe most people will be able to relate to the emotions expressed in the painting. The title of the painting is "Fuck Mondays".
