OUR ILLUSTRATORS
Our illustrators are the essence of our products! Without their creation and inspiration, none of this would be possible.

ISABELLE CHARBONNEAU
Throughout her childhood, Isabelle was lulled by her father’s stories. The great storyteller passed down an entire imagination to her, which she turned into a profession. Accompanied by her great love of books, which she inherited from her mother, she had the perfect set of skills to become an illustrator in children’s publishing.

IRÈNE LUMINEAU
Irene, a doodler from her earliest days, has always been passionate about drawing. After studying graphic design, she spent 7 months in India, an experience that was rich in emotions and colours, and that gave her the travel bug.
Continuing on this momentum, she left her native France for her adoptive country, Canada. She earned a bachelor's degree in art and design from Université du Québec.
In 2019, with the help of her sister, she published the book “ICITTE” about the French language in Quebec!

Up with the first rays of the sun, PisHier never ceases to surprise with his ideas, his creations and his involvement within the artistic community.
RÉMY SIMARD
Rémy was born a century ago in Roberval. With few skills in mathematics or French, he decided to study political science. Also unsuccessful in politics, Rémy Simard found himself exploring the world of books.
Like Alice inWonderland, a rather strange person once said to him, “You could illustrate this book!” At that time, Rémy didn't even know what illustration was! In the early 80s, armed with his colouring pencils, he published his first drawings. Since then, he hasn't had a minute to think about what he really wanted to do with his life. The book life chose him.
MARIE-HÉLÈNE ST-MICHEL
Marie-Hélène St-Michel is an illustrator from Pont-Rouge specializing in the creation of publishing and packaging illustrations. She also exploits her painter side with passion by producing large format works.

MYLÈNE VILLENEUVE
Mylène was born in Charlesbourg and drawing has always been a big part of her life. She became fascinated by illustration at a very young age. Later, she discovered portraiture and oil painting. She decided to take classes in these disciplines in order to perfect her skills.

JULIE BLAIS
Now, it's my turn! My whole life, I tried to find myself. I studied dental hygiene, office automation and accounting. I took on countless jobs without ever feeling that I was in the right place, and ended up working in accounting for 15 years.
I have always had a marked interest in the arts. I enjoy oil and acrylic painting and I like to mix mediums and tools, and play around with layers. With BiMoo, I can let out all my artistic energy and I am committed to encouraging artists.
