Summary

Born in the province of Québec, Canada, my passion for drawing sparked at the age of 10, and I am an aspiring self-taught artist / illustrator ever since. I adore to draw anthropomorphic characters and touch many form of multimedia, creating heartwarming characters and vitalizing worlds. My art is inspired by my childhood love of classic cartoons and illustrated books, and my passion for storytelling.

I believe that mindful and heartwarming artwork can revitalize the world. I do this with technical art skills and strategic purpose. I create illustrated characters.

I am skilled in the following:
- Concepts of animal characters, props, indoor rooms, landscapes and other environments. Artworks as either sketches, lineworks or paintings, all in digital.
- Illustrations for children books, graphic novels and other artistic projects.
- Designing illustrations into book covers, profile covers and pictures, art covers, stickers and others.

No matter what are the projects you need an artist for, you can expect me to do the job right and upmost care for the smallest details. I utilize Adobe Photoshop CC and Clip Paint Studio as digital softwares for my craft.
