Sophie Benmouyal is a freelance illustrator based in Montreal. After working as a graphic designer for a few years, she decided to pursue her dream of becoming a freelance children's book illustrator. From her home studio, she likes to explore colors and textures while experimenting with different techniques. Her two full-of-life little girls are her main source of inspiration by reminding her daily of the importance of dreams and play. They are also an excellent excuse for her compulsive children's book buying.
