About me

L’hermite is a personal quest, a spiritual journey through art and folklore. 

Hi I’m Alex, the artist behind L’hermite. Based on self-discovery and reclusion from society, my mission is to share my experience and interpretation of the magical adventure that is life. 

Illustration has always been the most efficient way for me to communicate , with L’hermite everything I put out has a meaning, a story and a purpose. My work combines influences from art history, witchcraft, nature and my own existence. I’m crafting/designing a curated selection of items to bring out the magic that surrounds us and mostly the one that is within ourself. 

A quick intro to my background;

I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember. I went to college to study Visual Arts and started tattooing professionally during my second year. I made tattoos my whole life for  about 6 years, read more about it here. I moved to the countryside in 2022 and switched things up. Getting back to nature and to myself.

Candle making:
My candles are made using 100% natural soy wax, some are made using essential oils blends and other ones contains paraben, phtalate & cruelty-free fragrance oils. All candles are hand poured by myself with magical intentions in my cottage-like house. 

Queer Witch:
My clothing line is screen-printed locally in the province of Quebec and is non-gendered. Inclusivity and diversity are important values for me and representation matters. My collection QUEER WITCH is a staple and a symbol of empowerment for those who have been discriminated for being different in any way. We have each others, remember that.

Tarot readings:
Self-taught tarot reader, I offer readings as a way to help those who look for guidance. I’ve been reading tarot for myself since 2015 and only offering it professionally since 2022. You can book a reading here
