About

Behind the brushes, Gabrielle

I’m Gabrielle. I’ve been drawing and painting since I was little. That passion led me to a bachelor’s degree in visual arts, where I nurtured my curiosity about shapes, colors and different ways of creating.

I love exploring all kinds of drawing, but I always come back to watercolor. I love its transparency, the way colors meet and the little surprises water leaves on paper. It brings softness and life to the simplest details.

My style

No faces. No background. Just an outfit, a posture, a memory.

My watercolors capture the little details that feel like you: the outfit you chose for the occasion, your hairstyle, the way you stand together. I leave faces undrawn to let silhouettes and colors tell the story. Each portrait becomes a personal keepsake of your celebration.

Gabrielle’s signature style: a guest painted in watercolor, outfit and silhouette only, no face, no background
How it works

How your evening unfolds.

    Painting

    I paint the watercolors throughout the evening.

    Pickup

    Once their watercolor is ready, guests can pick it up at my table.

Testimonials

What they have to say.

It was lovely seeing everyone recognize themselves in their watercolor. We still talk about that evening, and ours are already framed at home.

Our guests still bring it up! Everyone went home with their own watercolor. It feels personal, and it’s a lovely change from a group photo.
Camille & Julien
Wedding · Old Montreal · August 2025
During cocktail hour, guests came over to chat with Gabrielle and watch her paint. She fit right in. It was such a nice part of the evening.
Émilie & Antoine
Wedding · South Shore · July 2025
We wanted something different for our girls’ night, and Gabrielle’s watercolors were a hit! We each took one home, and we still talk about it.
