Caroline Hamel is a visual artist based in Montreal. With a background in graphic design and illustration, she brings a thoughtful approach to image-making. She began her career in advertising, working as an art director for several well-known agencies before establishing herself as a children’s book illustrator. Over the years, she has published more than twenty illustrated titles and received numerous distinctions for her work. Her current artistic practice is guided by themes of memory, emotion, and the surreal. Her imagery evokes romantic, internalized states, as figures surface from and dissolve into fluid surroundings.
