Catherine Meurisse

Catherine Meurisse was born in 1980. After graduating in French Language and Literature, she went on to study at the École Estienne, followed by the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Meurisse is a draughtswoman, author, cartoonist, reporter and illustrator of children's books. For fifteen years, she sharpened her eye and line in numerous press titles (Le Monde, Libération, Les Echos, L'Obs...) and more particularly at Charlie Hebdo, all while making comic strips where seriousness is not allowed. After Mes Hommes de lettres, Le Pont des arts (Sarbacane), Moderne Olympia (Futuropolis) and Drôles de femmes (Dargaud, with Julie Birmant), Meurisse published La Légèreté in 2016, a moving account of her return to life, drawing and memory after she escaped the Charlie Hebdo attack.
