Nahanni Rainer, a multifaceted artist, was born in the vibrant city of Montreal, Quebec, where her initial passion lay in the majestic world of horses, with a childhood dream of becoming a jockey.
However, fate had other plans, as she grew taller with age, making it impractical to pursue a career in the competitive realm of horse racing.
Instead, her journey took an unexpected turn when, at the tender age of 17, she was discovered by a modeling agency during a trip to the City of Light, Paris.
This serendipitous encounter led her to work in the fashion capitals of Paris and Milan, where she became a muse to the renowned Vogue photographer, Guy Bourdin.
Her early foray into the world of cinema took place at the prestigious Venice Festival, where she made her film debut in the Italian production, Summertime.
Following this initial foray, she relocated to the city that never sleeps, New York, to hone her acting skills under the guidance of Walt Witcover and The Barrow Group.
Moreover, she received valuable mentorship in directing and playwriting from Curt Dempster at Ensemble Studio Theatre, further enriching her artistic palette.
Throughout her illustrious career, Nahanni has made significant contributions to the world of theatre, television, and film, while also dedicating herself to coaching actors and writers.
At the core of her artistic philosophy lies the conviction that self-empowerment is the most crucial aspect of an artist's storytelling journey.
In her personal life, Nahanni is married to the talented Stunt Coordinator, Steve Lucescu, and is a devoted mother to her two children.
