To begin my biography, I would like to highlight the motivations that led me to pursue my career as an artist. Knowing oneself, daring to be oneself, and embracing one's uniqueness are essential elements for any independent professional. In art, this is even truer, as art is an expression of the heart.
I want to express my deep gratitude to my clients for their unwavering support. Each encounter enriches my journey and helps me grow as an artist. A special thanks to my son, who inspires me every day to express love and creativity.
I am a freelance illustrator, passionate about drawing and painting since childhood; art has always held a central place in my life. I studied visual arts at the Institut Saint-François and the Ateliers Malou in Brussels, which enhanced my skills and passion for illustration. Additionally, the artistic influence of one of my great aunts has played a significant role in my journey.
The birth of my son, William, marked a turning point in my life. To celebrate this event, I created a personalized birth announcement, which quickly led to numerous orders for announcements and custom gifts, thus launching my career.
Subsequently, I co-founded the publishing house My Mini Buddies, where we co-wrote and illustrated the first book in the collection. This project paved the way for other collaborations: illustrating a second book, creating posters, and designing children's yoga mats with Mila Victoria Bardiau, as well as labels for olive oils and a rosé wine called Bikini Rosé. I also collaborated with the Moranville company in Brussels to create a collection of wallpapers.
I have also taught drawing courses for adults, and perhaps one day I will revive some of them, as a way for me to share my passion and inspire others to develop their creativity.
Never forget that open-mindedness and human connection are invaluable treasures. Believe in yourself and follow your dreams with passion.
See you soon,
Charlotte
