Biography

Illustrator Maggi Baaring filled children's books, periodicals, and exhibition catalogues with gentle lines and a lively sense of color, always attentive to the stories behind each commission. Her figures were buoyed by a whimsical yet precise draftsmanship that lit up pages and offered comfort to readers of all ages.

Throughout a long career she remained humble, greeting young artists with encouragement and demonstrating how observation and patience yield vivid imagery; her work is fondly remembered at Vestre Cemetery by those who still cherish her drawings.
