About

Christine Deschenes, also known as Missphoton, is an emerging artist, but also a photographer, and a graphic designer, originally from Quebec, now based in Ontario.

After years of designing for corporate clients, she reconnected with her creative roots, turning inward to explore more personal, emotional landscapes through digital illustration. Using the tools of Procreate, she creates vibrant, dreamlike works that blur the line between inner and outer worlds.

Her art weaves imagination with reality, shadow with light, and speaks to themes of transformation, identity, and resilience. Inspired by life’s uncertainties, Christine invites viewers to pause, reflect, and discover the quiet strength — and unexpected beauty — that can arise in times of change.

Drawing is a refuge for me. It’s a way to calm my mind and enter a state of flow and stillness. In that space, I allow what wants to emerge to take shape, and the tools of my digital tablet give me the creative freedom I dream of.

My inspiration comes from personal experiences of transformation — the constant movement of life, its impermanence, and our deep need to stay grounded through it all. I’m drawn to the vulnerability and beauty that arise from these transitions. They are at the heart of what I create.

Missphoton was born in my twenties, when I was learning the art of creating with light, while studying photography. From this passion came naturally the desire to create beautiful visuals through graphic design and digital art.

MISSPHOTON refers to light, but also to my need to make a positive impact by promoting what brings value to our lives.
