Margriet van der Berg

Margriet van der Berg has been drawing since she could first hold a pencil. She grew up in a small village in the Netherlands and left home at age eighteen to study textile design at the Amsterdam Fashion Academy. After working for several years, she decided to study at the Art Academy. There, her love for painting with watercolors was born. Since then, Margriet has developed into an illustrator. She sells greeting cards and art prints, and since 2020, she has also illustrated children’s books. Her first book for Clavis Publishing was When the Whales Came by Phebe Rasch.
