Genevieve Castree (1981-2016) was born in Quebec. Swept away by comics, she wanted to be a cartoonist from the age of nine onwards. Castree felt the urge to publish her mini-comics early, appearing in the Montreal underground scene while she was still a teenager. In addition to her books, Castree had a number of exhibitions in Canada, the United States, Europe, Australia, and Japan. Castree spent her adult life in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, Phil Elverum, and their daughter, Agathe, where she drew, made small sculptures out of porcelain, and played music under the name O PAON.
