At age fifteen, Gosselin traveled around Canada and reunited with her absentee father. Although their relationship was strained, Gosselin's father did build her a log cabin to live in.

published her first book, ''Lait Frappé'', followed by ''Die Fabrik'' that same year and ''Roulatheque Roulatheque Nicolore'' in 2001, but it was ''Pamplemoussi'' in 2004 that served as her artistic breakthrough. The release marked her first major movement to integrate her music and visual art into one cohesive practice. In 2012, Castrée released ''Susceptible'', a

that chronicles her childhood growing up in Quebec through the character of Goglu, her childhood nickname. It was released to critical acclaim and saw her achieve international success, as well as helping her feel "unburdened" by her memories of her mother. In 2015, ''Maman Sauvage'', a book of poems in French detailing Castrée's feelings as a mother, was published by L'Oie de Cravan under the name Geneviève Elverum. Following her death, Castrée was included in ''The Best American Comics 2016'', edited by

, having been completed by her husband, Phil Elverum, and Portland artist Anders Nilsen. They were initially wary about finishing it but concluded that it would be better for the book to be in a state of "easy readability rather than burden it with the awkward unfinished look, too cloaked in its context to be functional as a standalone thing." Castrée left instructions for its creation after her death. According to Elverum, she worked on it until her "literal final days". The book was created for her daughter as a gift, although she did intend for it to be published. It centers around their relationship and Castrée's struggle with cancer, which she compares to living in a bubble. It features sparse text and is instead primarily told via an image per page. It concludes with an afterword by Elverum. Elverum noted that its creation was Castrée's way of coping. A book of poems titled ''Maman Apprivoisée'' was released in 2018. It consists of 44 poems written in French and English. It deals with her feelings surrounding her giving birth in 2015, and being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer the same year. Elverum has said that he is putting together a book of poems by her as well as a monograph of her illustrations.


Musical career

A self-taught musician, Castrée's first release was an accompanying LP to her 2004 book ''Pamplemoussi'', recorded and mixed by Thomas Shields and Matt Skillings of the band Run Chico Run. The two artists provided many of the instruments and backing tracks to the album, as well as musical training and financing for the recording. The album was recorded and mixed in Victoria, British Columbia. It is lo-fi in nature, with Castrée singing in French over "childlike" instruments, such as a keyboard and recorder. Under the name Woelv, Castrée released the 2006 EP ''Gris'' via Elverum's label P.W. Elverum & Sun, Ltd. ''Gris'' saw her expand on her already-established lo-fi sound. Her final release under the Woelv name came in 2007 as ''Tout seul dans la forêt en plein jour, avez-vous peur?'' (English: ''Alone in the Forest in the Middle of the Day, Are You Scared?''). The album was recorded in Olympia, Washington, via

style that made heavy use of vibrant color. Her characters were often expressive, being described as "fragile" and "broken", and were drawn with "wiggly" arms and "bending" legs. Themes such as sorrow and elation were present throughout her work in a symbiotic manner.
