About

Portrait of Quebec illustrator Marie-Joëlle Fournier, specialized in educational and scientific illustration, based in Montreal.

Hello! I’m Marie-Joëlle Fournier, an illustrator and graphic designer based in Montreal, Canada.

Driven by curiosity, my practice ranges from educational to editorial illustration, as well as posters, children’s books, and personal artistic projects. Inspired by a conceptual and graphic approach, I love creating colorful and eye-catching images that are both aesthetic and meaningful, bringing ideas to life.

With a degree in graphic design and illustration, I also worked for several years as a graphic designer at Le Soleil newspaper. This experience nurtured my interest in visual storytelling and information design, especially for educational and socially engaged subjects.

My style emphasizes expressive characters and symbolic elements, combined with vibrant color palettes and textured shapes.

I enjoy exploring various themes, including human behavior, the environment, science, psychology, and contemporary social issues. Through illustration, I hope to make a modest yet positive impact on the world around me.

When I’m not illustrating, you might find me on two wheels somewhere, chasing distant and spectacular landscapes or with my head buried in dusty treasures.
