Originally from Quebec City and based in Montreal for several years, Catherine Ocelot is an illustrator, comic book author, and cartoonist. She writes the comic strip Nature humaine in the newspaper La Presse and is the author of several acclaimed works, including Symptômes (2022, Prix des Collégiens), La vie d’artiste (2018, Prix Bédélys), Talk-Show (2016), and Nenette cherche un sens (2006). She has also created numerous illustrated columns and comic strips for publications such as ELLE Québec and Liberté magazine.

Her work explores emotions that defy words, delves into what lies beneath appearances, and depicts, with melancholic humor, the precious, wonderful, and sometimes sad aspects of human relationships. Fascinated by the body and its transformations, she weaves sensitive narratives where detail and subtlety reveal the invisible.

With degrees in visual arts education (Laval University) and art therapy (Concordia University), she worked for five years at Radio-Canada as an artistic director and designer before launching her own business as a motion designer and illustrator. For the past ten years, she has devoted most of her practice to comics and drawing, developing a body of work that is at once intimate, poetic, and universal.
