Florence is a French illustrator currently based in beautiful (but rainy!) Belgium. She never planned to become a teacher or an astronaut, or even a comedian but always knew she wanted to draw and draw some more. She now lives and works in a fairytale trailer in the midst of a magical garden, where she gathers most of her inspiration.
