Biography
Born and raised in Montreal, Marilyn Faucher is an honours graduate of UQAM’s graphic design program, specializing in illustration. Her contemporary style brings a fresh perspective to traditional techniques, resulting in sensitive yet vibrant illustrations. As a child, Marilyn used to play in the woods with her friends, looking for a secret world. She would talk to, draw and write stories about the animals that crossed her path. Even at a young age, she was passionate about drawing. When she’s not working on her various illustration projects, Marilyn finds inspiration in ghost stories, woods, witches, animals and adventures. Marilyn now lives in a small town not far from Montreal with her cat named Feta. She still hopes that, one day, she will discover a secret world. ~Instagram: @marilynfaucher
