Meet Thérèse

Thérèse is a painter and illustrator based in Long Sault, Ontario. After finishing her art degree in drawing and painting, she began her watercolour journey in children’s illustration—building a portfolio and eventually illustrating three children’s books. A life-long obsession with the intricacies found in the natural world led her to her current work of detailed paintings and pattern design inspired by vintage botanical and scientific prints.
