BOOK A SCHOOL / LIBRARY VISIT (TORONTO & MONTREAL)

I love to draw with kids and teens, and like showing kids small tricks to overcome their frustration at “not knowing how to draw.” The kids who drew these images below were all under 7 years old and thought they were bad at drawing. Je fais des ateliers en français, English, ou franglais, comme vous voulez!

This past October (2022) I was the very lucky recipient of the Joanne Fitzgerald Illustrator in Residence, sponsored by Ibby Canada and the family of Joanne Fitzgerald. This residency was hosted by Toronto Public Libraries, and over the month I got to work with over 1000 students, adults and up-and-coming illustrators to develop a new way of seeing faces, drawing the world around them, and going for their dreams of becoming professional illustrators. What a dream!

We also talk about storytelling in our everyday lives, and how comics make us feel better. Get in touch if you're interested in having me visit! (In-Person visits are back as of Spring 2022, disponible en français or English!

I also enjoy working hands-on with paint, collage, and collaborative murals to make beautiful art with kids in classes and libraries.
