Born in 1983, Catherine Gauthier spent her childhood in Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur in Montérégie. She began by studying visual arts and art history, but decided to specialize in graphic design. Since then, she works as a graphic designer in Montreal. However, illustration remains her great passion, with the graphite pencil as her medium of choice. Her practice is a poetic and personal interpretation of various contemporary themes, in the form of drawings and digital collages.
