Geneviève Després completed a degree in Industrial Design at the University of Montreal‚ but decided instead to pursue her first passion: drawing. She turned to illustration. She has illustrated many books for children‚ including "The Highest Number in the World" and "The Little Knight who battled Monsters". The artist employs a variety of techniques and plays with texture and the transparency of different mediums to create unique images. Tender and whimsical‚ they appeal to the child within us all.
