1. What's your story? Where are you from?My name is Marie and I am a freelance graphic designer in Toulouse. Initially, I wanted to become a stylist, so I started studying fashion. However, I quickly realized that I was more passionate about drawing than sewing. So I changed lanes and I started graphism.
2. Tell us about your aesthetic.I don’t think I have a specific style. I am inspired by everything and my drawings will depend on how my mood is. The only thing I can say is that they are very colorful, I do not limit myself on that. The more color there is, the better I am.3. What is your favourite medium and why?I mainly use my graphics tablet. I have more choice in terms of colors. But when I'm traveling, I always take my notebooks and colored pencils with me.4. What is your artistic process like?I draw almost every day. I often have white leaf syndrome, it's the mess in my head. And boom, suddenly inspiration comes and I do not take off my office until I'm satisfied with my illustration. ( or work )5. Who and/or what inspires your work?I'm inspired by everything, I have no limit. It can be anything ... Right now, I'm drawing a lot of women and felines.6. What role does art play in your life? How does it change the way you view the world?Without art, I will not know what to do. I miss a lot of confidence in myself and when I draw, I feel better. It's like a drug, I need it every day to feel better...
