She was born in 1928 in Prague. After studying at the School of Applied Arts in Prague, she began to illustrate children's books for 50 years.
Kveta Pacovska once said:
A book is architecture for me. It is a given sealed space into which I compose painted, written, cut and empty pages...
...A drawing is such as it is. It should not and cannot pretend. It expresses our feelings and our thoughts. I love all materials. They are tempting...
...Each individual tone is beautiful by itself and in certain groupings we create new dimensions, harmony, disharmony, symphonies, operas and books for children...
I'm fascinated by her works, I searched for her books. Now, i've collected 7 books.
She has no personal web site, but quite a number of related sites.
In June, there will be an exhibition of her works:
