Marianne Boucher is a graphic novelist and painter from Kirkland Lake, Ontario. After graduating from the Ontario College of Art and Design, she worked as a court-illustrator, covering crime stories for a Toronto television station for 30-years.

Her graphic novel, ‘Talking To Strangers: A Memoir of My Escape from a Cult’ an adult memoir, was published by Penguin Random House in 2020, and was listed as one of the best Canadian comics in 2020 by CBC.

Her second graphic novel ‘Survival of the Goodest’ to be published by Conundrum Press in the fall of 2024, explores ideas of animal sentience, interspecies communication, and environmental preservation.

A recent move back to northern Ontario has rekindled her desire to return to painting.

She is represented by Britton Gallery in Muskoka.
