NOÉMIE GIONET LANDRY a grandi dans une petite ville côtière du Nouveau-Brunswick, entourée par l’océan. En grandissant, elle voulait devenir médecin ou illustratrice de livres pour enfants. Durant ses études en médecine, elle a décidé de faire les deux. Aujourd’hui, elle partage son temps entre l’hôpital (où elle travaille comme rhumatologue) et son studio à domicile, où elle dessine et peint, entourée de sa femme, de son fils, de deux minuscules chihuahuas et de deux chats.

NOÉMIE GIONET LANDRY grew up in a small coastal town in New Brunswick, surrounded by the ocean. Growing up, she said she wanted to become either a doctor or a children’s book illustrator. Midway through medical school, she decided she would do both. She now shares her time between the hospital (where she works as a rheumatologist) and her home studio, where she sketches, draws and paints surrounded by her wife, son, two tiny Chihuahuas and two cats.
