Read MoreJ Schalit was born in 1969 in Paris and now moves between her hometown and the southwest of France.
Her father, an advertising executive, passed on his love for colors and beautiful things. With her mother, in a small village in Dordogne, she grew up close to nature and people.
After traveling and studying communication and graphic design, she held various positions as a graphic designer and art director. In 2005, she decided to launch her own business and founded Les Louisettes, one of the first companies to pioneer the trend of decorative wall stickers, dedicated to her daughter Louise. Her regular participation in the Maison & Objet trade show over several years allowed her to build an international clientele.
Drawing from this experience, in 2012 she chose to focus on illustration under the name Suzie-Q, a nod to an iconic 1950s song and to her second daughter, Suzie. She then began working with an agent and moved to Bordeaux, where she still lives today. Many exciting opportunities followed, including collaborations with brands like Clairefontaine, Exacompta, and La Chaise Longue on stationery and home decor collections, as well as illustrating a book on the female body published by La Musardine.
In 2021, she returned to painting, offering her creativity a new form of expression. Today marks the beginning of her first exhibitions as a visual artist.
