Meet the Artist

I'm Aurelie. I create educational illustrations, watercolor portraits and picture books. I live in Paris, but also like to come back home to Leuven (Belgium).

After studying German and Russian in Antwerp, I moved to Paris and graduated from CESAN as an illustrator and comic book artist.

When I'm not at my drawing board, you can find me in museums and cafes, armed with my sketchbook, tea and cake.

From the moment we met to the delivery of the portraits. Aurelie designed part of our wedding invitations and thank-you cards, and she was also there on our wedding day to sketch our guests. And WOW, that was a huge hit.
