Our guest - Florence Rivest

An illustrator and artist by profession, Florence is a full-time outdoors lover. Her work is inspired by the territory and natural spaces she visits to anchor herself. Since 2020, she has been leading outdoor art workshops and expeditions where the undisguised objective is the pleasure of taking time.

  • Erre is the collision of two great passions: art and the outdoors. In the form of workshops in urban parks, nature expeditions or even weekends in a refuge, it is a great excuse to stop for a while and catch your (creative) breath.
    Because the world of outdoor and art can seem difficult to access and/or reserved for a certain type of person, the goal is to bring whoever wants to into a space where they will be encouraged to have fun, without pressure to perform. The workshops cover different mediums and subjects, but the goal remains the same: to create with pleasure and appreciate how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful territory as Quebec.
