Femme ter Haar (1996) is a Dutch illustrator and artist. She works on a wide range of projects, like childrens' books, comics, installations and editorial illustration. Her atmospheric drawings capture big feelings and small moments, often in warm colors and a mix of materials. At the core of her practice is a big love for (sketch)books and storytelling. Femme currently lives and works in Bergen, Norway, where she’s working on her first graphic novel, a story about loss and loneliness.


Past clients include:

the New York Times, de Volkskrant, Flow Magazine, de VPRO Gids, de Bijenkorf, Stroom Den Haag, het Oranje Fonds, Uitgeverij Lannoo and KRO-NCRV.
