MARGEAUX LUCAS began drawing constantly from age four. Her love of picture books came from the many hours she spent before bedtime reading from the collection at her grandmother's house. Margeaux's work reflects her love of fashion, nature, and the many shapes, sizes, and colors that people come in, plus the constant exuberance of children. She also illustrated My Little Golden Book About Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
