Corinne Blouin is a francophone multidisciplinary painter/illustrator living on unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe Nation (Ottawa, Canada). Street offerings is her most current public art project and invites the dialogue that art should be accessible to everyone.

Through this initiative, she hopes to encourage others to explore the vibrancy of the city.
