Geerten Maria Ten Bosch (born 21 April 1959)[1][2][3] is a Dutch graphic designer and illustrator.

Early life

[edit]

Ten Bosch was born in Dordrecht in 1959 as one of five children of Lou Ten Bosch and Ank Stumpel.[3]

Between 1980 and 1984 she studied graphic and typographic design at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague but she did not complete her studies.[1][4] One of her teachers was Alfons van Heusden.[1]

Illustrator

[edit]

In 1985, she started children's magazine St. Kitts van de Bovenwindse with Clara Linders, named after Saint Kitts island.[1] The initial financing for St. Kitts van de Bovenwindse was made possible by Ilona Fennema who made available the remaining money after the end of children's magazine Kris Kras.[5] Further financing was made possible by the Nederlands Comité voor Kinderzegels.[5] The magazine only lasted a year but this marked the beginning of her collaborative efforts with Linders, Harriët van Reek and Anne Vegter.[1][4]

In 1989, she illustrated the children's book De dame en de neushoorn, written by Anne Vegter, for which they both won the Woutertje Pieterse Prijs in 1990.[2][1] The main characters in this book were first introduced in the children's magazine St. Kitts van de Bovenwindse.[1] Ten Bosch received the Vlag en Wimpel award for her illustrations in Verse bekken! which is also written by Anne Vegter.[1] Ten Bosch illustrated Vegter's book Harries hoofdingang (1999) as well as Sprookjes van de planeet aarde (2006), the latter in collaboration with her sister Judith Ten Bosch.[6][7] Both sisters participated in the Biennial of Illustration Bratislava in 2007 to exhibit their illustrations in this book.[8]

Between 1994 and 1996, she illustrated stories written by Toon Tellegen which were published every other week in NRC Handelsblad.[1] These stories were published in the book De verjaardag van alle anderen in 1998.[1] In 1996, she received the Gouden Penseel award for her illustrations in De verjaardag van de eekhoorn (1995), written by Toon Tellegen.[9][10]

In 1995, she illustrated the book Het huis van Marie written by Clara Linders.[1] In 2018, Ten Bosch and Harriët van Reek presented their picture book Ei! Ei! De wonderlijke reis van twee eieren en een poppenkast on the occasion of Easter 2018.[11]

Artist

[edit]

With Harriët van Reek she formed artist collective Banketje and they went on to create various works of art.[12] Some of these art works were purchased by the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen and the Nordic Watercolour Museum.[12]

In 2001, she created an art work together with artist Moritz Ebinger for the library in Maassluis.[13]
