Mei Matsuoka was born in Tokyo, Japan where she spent the early part of her childhood, before moving to the Cotswolds, England at the age of 11. She found growing up between two different cultures to be an amazing experience and often travels back and forth between Japan and England, the city and the countryside.
Mei Matsuoka has been much in demand as an illustrator since graduating from Kingston College of Art in 2004. She was shortlisted for the Booktrust’s Best New Illustrator Award in 2008.
