Joelle Gebhardt

Joelle is a Canadian author-illustrator based in Berlin. She studied fine art and illustration at Emily Carr University and her first picture book was published in 2020. Joelle works in a variety of styles, but especially loves pencils, pastels, and textiles. Her stories are inspired by big personalities, the weirder moments of life and the hilarity of children (including her own). When Joelle is not making books, she’s reading, biking, baking and wishing she had a wiener dog.
