Trained as an illustrator BA at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Vera Eggermann has been writing and illustrating picture books for 30 years. She lived in London for a long time and is now at home in Lucerne, happily commuting between country air and big city, idyll and contradiction. Accordingly, her work is colorful and stylistically diverse. In her paintings, populated by peculiar but lovable characters, she combines mundane everyday observation with lush fantasy worlds.
