Den Scheer

Biography

Den Scheer grew up on an isolated farm in Western Australia. There wasn’t much in the way of TV or game consoles so she kept herself amused by reading, writing and drawing. At eighteen, she has won many awards for her illustrations, including the Young Australian Art Award (over three consecutive years) and the Australian Scholarship Group Art Award. Den is currently studying her Bachelor of Illustration and Design at Curtin University. In the Beech Forest is her first book.
