meThis week we welcome Genevieve from MademoiselleG!

Genevieve is an artist with an endearing whimsical style…

Where do you live?

Brussels, Belgium

Where do you work?

Not working yet, I’m still a student.

il_430xN.76813376What is your favourite place in the world?

My favorite place in the world…too hard! I love Brussels but also my hometown near Montreal…The first one for it’s great atmosphere (often rainy, but people are so great here!) the second one because it’s where I grew up and where all my familly is. Also fell in love with the architecture of La Havana..

Tell us a little more about yourself…

Well well, I’m a young miss from the countryside near Montreal in Canada, and grew up with two younger monster sisters, my mom and dad, and many pets! I draw, paint, and create with my ten fingers since I’m a little girl, so let’s say arts have always been my hobby…And they still are! After high school, I made a pre-university diploma in fine arts, and now I just finished a bachelor in history of arts in Brussels, where I met my boyfriend a couple of years ago before I decided to move there. This September I’ll start my last two years at university with a master in cultural management, but I continue to draw and paint part time.

What did you want to be ‘when you grew up’?

When I was a little girl, I wanted to be so many things when I would grow up! A teacher, an archeologist, a painter, and even a fire woman!

When did you get started with your art?il_430xN.88236375

I have always been drawing a lot, and my parents encouraged me all my life to continue. I remember that when I was about 4 or 5 years old, my grandmother even embroidered one of my drawings on a pillow!

Now, I mostly draw and paint…but if I had the time, I would like to do so much more.

Which piece are you most proud of?

I’m pretty proud about my drawings, even if I’m very perfectionist and that according to me, none of them are perfect.

What do you like most about selling online?

What I like about selling online is that small pieces of my world can go everywhere in the world.

il_430xN.35116728I love…

… my lover, my family, ice cream and chocolate, vacations, life in general even if it’s not always like we wanted to be.

It drives me crazy…

… when I see injustice and lies that people have to live with.

If you could sum yourself up in one sentence it would say…

Welcome to the whimsical and nostalgic world of a timid dreamer.

    My favourite is ‘The Flight of Emphrey’. I think he has a wonderful name and an excellent occupation.
