Passionate about plants and a multidisciplinary artist, Geneviève Lebleu holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Concordia University. She also completed a session at the Bezalel School of Fine Arts in Jerusalem. Her work has been exhibited many times exhibited in Quebec and internationally. In November 2018 she is the artist in residence of The Exhibitionist on CBC's The Exhibitionist. Her first comic book, Weeding, won the award for best English-language comic book at Expozine 2022. His French translation, Sarclage, was published by Éditions Pow Pow in May 2022. Originally from Quebec City, she now lives and works in Montreal. Whether it is in illustration, stop motion animation or comics, Geneviève seeks to create dystopian universes in which composite creatures and extraterrestrial creatures and extraterrestrial organisms are the actors of stagings reminding us of a surrealism halfway between science-faction and magical realism.
