Illustrator Natalie Merheb
Natalie was born one snowy, wintry night in the far north of the United States. As a child, she spent most of her time colouring and painting. Following in the footsteps of many artists in her family, she studied fine art at university before spending several years working in graphic
design. After the birth of her twin daughters, she began illustrating digitally and as her skill and passion for it grew, so did her dream of becoming a children’s book illustrator. In 2019, she won the Kids Shelf Books Cover Design Award for the book, This I Know. Her passions
are nature, animals and recreating the classics. Even though her wintry beginning inspires a lot of her artwork, she now lives in Dubai, a city of perpetual heat and sun, with her husband and daughters.
When she’s not illustrating, you might find her horseback riding in the desert, trying a new recipe out or at the beach with her family.
