Gitta Pardoel
Gitta Pardoel, illustrator, artist, poet and teacher, based in the Netherlands.
Gitta Pardoel creates poetic illustrations and visual poems inspired by nature and stories. For her, creating children’s books is the fulfillment of a dream, which began when she discovered that everything she is passionate about comes together in the process of creating books with illustrations and text. Her stories often originate in nature and could be called narrative nonfiction.
