Margaret Chamberlain

Margaret grew up in Weybridge, Surrey. She has always loved drawing and remembers making up stories about family and animals and drawing detailed pictures of them from a very young age. Two favourite books from her childhood are ‘The Family at One End Street’ and ‘Pippi Longstockings’. She loved the illustrations but it never occurred to Margaret that she could be an illustrator herself. She went to Canterbury College of Art to study Graphic Design and then to The Royal College of Art for a post graduate degree in Illustration. With the support and encouragement of her tutor, Quentin Blake, her career was launched.
She now lives in the Dorset coastal town of Lyme Regis with her cartoonist husband, Ian Dicks. A very strange thing about Margaret is that she has one blue eye and one brown eye!
