Dorien Brouwers initially began writing & illustrating books as a gift for her son. Her book SAIL was a winner at the AOI World Illustration Awards and shortlisted for the Bologna Picture Book Fair Illustrator’s Exhibition.
Little, Brown Young Readers (part of Hachette Book Group) acquired her two latest picture books and she is currently illustrating new books for Penguin Random House and Lemniscaat.
She draws predominantly with watercolour and ink, developing a distinctive style rich in texture and detail.
