Marie is an artist agent at Illo. She grew up in the South of France, surrounded by a very artsy family and quite naturally went on to study Arts and Literature in France and The Netherlands. She graduated with a Publishing MA in Paris and spent the 12 years in publishing before joining Illo from Flying Eye Books/ Nobrow and previously from Quarto (Wide Eyed, Frances Lincoln etc), and Le Seuil- La Martinière in France, where she sold subsidiary and foreign rights globally, getting books translated into over 25 languages. Marie is a creative and collaborative champion of illustrators. Passionate about all things illustration and the creative process that goes into making art, she’s always on the lookout for the next inspirational illustrator to match them with their ideal project, from books, to advertising, editorial and beyond.
