### 💬 A Little About Me
Hi friends! I’m Lucy, an artist based in Montreal 🎨
I love sketching in cafés, markets, and cozy corners of the city — and I’d love to meet others who feel the same.
These sessions are casual and community-focused:
Bring your own art materials, and if we’re in a café or restaurant, please support the venue with a small purchase ☕💛📸 I sometimes take photos or short clips during events.
If you’d rather not be in them — no worries, just let me know!
Let’s create, connect, and explore Montreal’s inspiring spots together. 💛
