Anete Grīnberga
Anete Grīnberga (1996) ieguvusi izglītību Latvijas Mākslas akadēmijas animācijas nodaļā, tomēr viņai radusies vēlme iztēlotos varoņus iedzīvināt nevis zīmējumos, bet gan romānā. Brīvos brīžus vislabprātāk pavada gleznojot un pastaigās atklājot pamestas spocīgas ēkas, bet ikdienā nodarbojas ar mākslas stundu pasniegšanu.
