The Creative Behind the Book

Illustrator

Miriam Bos

My name is Miriam Bos. I am an illustrator and pattern designer from the Netherlands who loves creating art that brings a smile to your face. I started out as an illustrator of children’s books &amp;amp; magazines. In 2012, I jumped into pattern design and put my heart into developing new illustrations and surface designs for a whole different market. I am now a fabric designer with Birch Fabrics and have two fabric collections on my name. I’m also an illustrator of children’s books and have licensed my work to several companies &amp;amp; industries worldwide. I specialize in both traditional and digital techniques and like to mix them up which gives my artwork a distinct &amp;amp; quirky style. Whimsical girls, lush flowers, and sweet birds are just a few of the things I can’t stop drawing.(Bio via http://miriambos.com)
