I'm Raquel, an illustrator/biologist and small business owner based in the suburbs of Montreal. I strongly believe in the power of nature and its intrinsic value. My mission is simple yet profound: to safeguard the natural world and inspire a deep appreciation for the native insects that play a vital role in our ecosystem. Through my carefully curated collection of illustrations, I aim to foster a connection between art and nature, allowing you to bring the beauty of these remarkable creatures into your daily life. Thank you for taking the time to explore my website!
