ARTIST BIO

I am a mixed media artist based in Whitehorse, Yukon. I grew up near Paris, France. During my early years, I explored a range of visual art techniques including drawing, painting (oil and acrylic), sculpture (clay), ceramic, collages. After a few years working exclusively with acrylic paints, my recent work focuses on pen and ink drawing and watercolours. Since 2017, I have been studying drawing and storytelling techniques specific to comics. Since 2021, I am also a full-time illustrator and graphic recorder (check out my portfolio here).
