Biography:
I am an illustrator based in Montreal, working as a freelancer. I graduated from Concordia University in Design Arts and am represented by Anna Goodson Illustration Agency. I work on commissioned assignments in both editorial and children's book illustration. I enjoy switching from a long-term children's book adventure to a quick overnight newspaper assignment.
My Cintiq tablet and numeric paintbrushes are my favourite tools.
In my spare time, I paint from observation with real gouache on paper and it nourrishes the children's illustrations that nourrish the editorial and so on...
