You can also still purchase the original Kids! poster in my print store.

Her work has appeared in newspapers, parenting and lifestyle magazines, children magazines, puzzles, books and educational manuals. Genevieve is a OCAD graduate and she currently works out of her studio in Québec City.

What child can resist the intoxicating allure of chocolate chip cookies? None that I know of.

Here is a recent illustration, inspired by memories of playing at my grandfather’s farm in Milton when I was a kid. I used to go exploring around the fields and in the barn. I was allergic to hay and horses, so there was also a lot of sneezing going on!
