Mariko Jesse

Mariko Jesse was born in Japan, spent her childhood in Hong Kong and was educated

in the UK, so having a name that translates as ‘ ten thousand mile child ‘ makes sense !

She is now a lecturer at Central St Martins School in London and spends her time living

between Asia and Europe with a love of illustrating travel and food. Her work celebrates

the mix of cultures that she experiences, whilst moving countries constantly to avoid

the worst of the weathers… and who can blame her !
