Marta Taylor is a picture book illustrator and storyteller with a bold, playful style. Growing up barefoot in rural New Zealand, she spent her childhood climbing trees, befriending animals, and seeing the world through a mischievous lens — fuelling her love for storytelling with vibrant colours and a touch of quirky imperfection.

Now based on the Mediterranean coast, she brings that same energy and charm to every project, creating illustrations that spark joy and imagination.
