Kathy Voerg was born and raised in a small town in the Hudson Valley but moved to New York City to study illustration at Pratt Institute. Her love for creating art for children began in college and she has been fortunate enough to be able to work as an illustrator for children's books, magazines, toys, and paper products. Kathy illustrated all four Eat 'Em Up board books for Dover and looks forward to more in the series. She currently lives in Lodi, New Jersey, and spends her free time laughing, drawing, and enjoying nature with her amazing family and friends!
