Madeleine Hellmers

Bio
I live in Toronto near a lot of Ethiopian restaurants. I have been drawing since time-immemorial, and even had formal education in it! I graduated with a BFA in studio practice from York University in 2005, and followed that promptly with a Post-Grad Certificate in Illustration from Sheridan College in 2006. I have been exhibiting my work for about a decade, and its been a real doozey.
