Long frustrated in the corporate world, her illustrations are a true space of freedom where she can explore, experiment, and create with passion.

Her long-term goal is to be able to make a living as a freelancer by continuing to offer prints that brighten up your interiors and working on exciting and fulfilling projects.

Her works—rooted in feminism, witchcraft, and political struggles—take the form of visual talismans: images that transform anger into power, vulnerability into strength, and the invisible into presence, inviting introspection and dialogue.

Through her creations, Fille Maudite seeks to offer women and marginalized people symbols with which to identify, protect, and assert themselves.

July is a queer and neurodivergent multidisciplinary artist living in Tiohtià:ke. Their artistic practice is informed by their academic background in fine arts and biology. They are interested in the universality of shapes and patterns present in our world, how they can be found across species, environments, and at different scales: a kind of common language. They explore this visual language across media and processes which are intentionally slow and meditative in their repetition and minutia. Whether in the process or the result, their art attempts to recreate the feeling of calm and ease one experiences in Nature.  goes here

Amanda Fiore is a Montreal-based artist and illustrator, inspired by nature, nostalgia, and the quiet wonder of everyday life. Using a soft, detailed approach, she layers coloured pencil to capture subtle moments of beauty, from daylight streaming through a window, to the delicate patterns on a vase, or the curve of a bird’s wings. She often incorporates small surreal touches, such as ribbon creatures or unusual colours, inviting viewers to slow down and observe more closely. With a background in science and a passion for learning through observation, Amanda has developed her practice outside of formal art training.

Luis Valoyes is a Colombian-born visual artist based in Montreal, Canada. Originally trained as an architect, he shifted paths after a decade-long career in social housing and a short experience in audio production for the video games industry. His art draws on years of experimenting with 3D, graphic design, and no-budget creative tools.

With a practice that explores both digital art and traditional painting, Luis creates colorful, pop-inspired images, often featuring skulls and skeletons as symbols of the universal fragility of the human condition. Embracing imperfection, he uses accessible tools to produce work that is intentionally glitchy and chaotic, reflecting the unpredictable texture of real life.

Finding inspiration in everyday moments, travel, and the natural world, she aims to bring a sense of calm and connection through her art.

Louise, a photographer based in Montreal, has a passion for exploration and renewal.

She creates images that borrow as much from painting as they do from photography.

Inspired by old paintings, surrealism, and dreams, she loves soft, strange, almost unreal atmospheres.

Louise likes to experiment, try out different techniques, build sets, and explore ideas.

For her, each photo is a quest, a playground where she reflects on artistic creation as a way of telling stories differently.
