Grace Herzberg
Grace Herzberg grew up in Ankeny, Iowa and earned her B.A. in Biological/Pre-Medical Illustration at Iowa State University where she minored in French and Emerging Global Diseases. Her high school biology teacher introduced her to the world of scientific illustration through a documentary about piecing together Australopithecus afarensis using drawings, inspiring her to combine art and science herself. Grace enjoys snuggling up with her cat, Aglet, while playing cozy games.
Currently, Grace is pursuing her Master of Art in Medical and Biological Illustration at Johns Hopkins University and graduated with her M.A. from Johns Hopkins in 2024.
