Stefan Brunette was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he pursued his passion for art and storytelling from a young age. As he grew up, his family moved across the prairies, finally finding roots just outside of Calgary, Alberta, where he graduated from Saint Mary's University with a B.A. in English. He went on to earn his education degree and has been teaching full-time for nearly ten years. After meeting his wife and making their home on Treaty 7 territory, in the town of High River, they started a family. At the beginning of the pandemic, he decided to pursue his love of art once again. With fatherhood as his muse, he turns memorable events into works of art that are all at once sentimental, hilarious, and relatable. Stefan looks forward to continuing his pursuit of illustration and commemorating future memories with his family.
