Ariane has loved making up stories since she was little. She also loved illustrating them, preferably with markers on the wall. Now all grown-up, she lives her dream by illustrating and writing picture books for children big and small. The walls are definitely thankful for that! To achieve her dream she has completed some very useful degrees. One was a BSc in Psychology and the other (and way more fun) was an MA in Children's Book Illustration at Anglia Ruskin University. Ariane now lives with her three children, two cats and one husband in South London, where she comes up with new stories and occasionally paints on a wall.
