Hi, I'm Justine Lepage, also known as Loucoffee! I'm a French artist based in Cork, Ireland. I am self taught but I have always been passionate about drawing and all forms of creation. Over the years, I have been interested in theatre, improv, writing, and ceramics to name a few. I'm always looking for the next thing that will spark my interest!

My work focuses on whimsical and colourful illustrations, both watercolour and digital. It has been exhibited at St Peter's Cork and GOMA Gallery of Modern Art in Waterford. I like to draw gnomes, humans, and animals wearing party hats.

My main ongoing series of gnome paintings stemmed from a desire of freedom during the first covid lockdown, when I was stuck at home and lived magical adventure through these little adventurers. I particularly enjoy creating outfits for them, as fashion is another one of my interests.
