Claire Low, Editor, Total Girl Magazine
"Total Girl has worked with Maude via Illustration Room for a number of years – she’s an always capable, safe pair of hands and she never fails to deliver monthly design work that’s on-brand for us. We are always impressed with her illustrations because they interpret the brief effectively, project visual ideas clearly and brightly and also have a bit of extra flair, humour and a sense of fun. Maude and her illustrations are a delight."

"Maude was a delight to work with from beginning to end. Her characters sparkle with energy and fun, and her enthusiasm for our projects was catching. Always willing to be flexible and solve problems creatively, Maude was a joy to collaborate with."

Pat McDermott, Writer for the
Australian Women’s Weekly
Magazine, Sydney"Every month for three years, Maude’s delicately sweet, sassy and sometimes, poignant illustrations cleverly captured the essence of my column in the Australian Women’s Weekly (AWW).
I have been writing a light-hearted but truthful column about family life in AWW called Family Matters. Maude Guesne’s bright, whimsical characters appeared on my page each month for three years, from 2015 till 2018.
She drew my family (one husband and five children plus cat) with a kind but discerning eye. Thanks to Maude I have the most witty, clever and elegant family ‘album’ ever. I believe she draws from her heart."
