Mique Moriuchi
Mique Moriuchi makes pictures with paint, scissors, paper and glue. She love colour; her studio is messy, with paper trails often leading to the kitchen. Since completing her studies in illustration in 1999 (MA at Brighton University, BA at Norwich School of Art & Design), she has illustrated 23 picture books to date and was recently commissioned by Paperchase to work on a range of greeting cards. Mique currently lives in Bedford with her partner and two boys.
