About me

Step into my cozy tropical world

You already know the short version from the homepage. Here's the real one.

Where it started

I grew up in Martinique, slow market mornings, the gold light at 4pm, a hammock used one too many times.

When I moved away to Paris, I didn't just miss a place, I missed a feeling. So I started drawing it.

The Cozy Tropics world 🌴

Art and printables inspired by tropical countries around the world — their colors, animals, rhythms and stories.

`Cozy`

Slow down, breathe and create. Our world is made for quiet moments — coloring, journaling and finding calm in color.

`Colorful`

Inspired by the vibrant colors of tropical countries around the world, every illustration is a little burst of sunshine on your page.

Meet my characters

A growing world of cute tropical characters, based on my temper, scenes and stories — all designed to bring a little calm and color into your day.

Kanel

the hibiscus mongoose

She always has a hibiscus flower in her hair and sunshine in her heart. She loves slow mornings at the market, fresh tropical fruits and cozy afternoons under the palms.

Giro

the tropical opossum

He's always up for an adventure, especially if it leads somewhere cozy. Giro is Kanel's best friend — mischievous, warm-hearted and a little dramatic.
