Mario Coelho was born on the Brazilian island of Florianopolis. He worked as an artist and designer in the textile industry before moving to England in 1985. After completing a course in children's book illustration run by Korky Paul, Mario began receiving several commissions, starting with an edition of Oscar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost published by Oxford University Press.
