2.12 Afternoon Tea with Vikki Marmaras and Caterina Metti

If Vikki seems distracted, it's probably because she's thinking about a new story. She writes most nights and is constantly updating the notes app on her phone to keep track of new ideas.
So far, three of Vikki's stories are being made into real-life picture books. Her first book, Poppy, The Queen and The Seat is published by Red Paper Kite and is available to buy now. Her second book will follow soon after.
Vikki is largely inspired by her two children, who give her most of the ideas for her stories.
She currently splits her time between Milton Keynes, UK and Melbourne, Australia.

Caterina is a self-taught artist who studied science before deciding to pursue a career in illustration. She paints using gouache, but she also loves working with graphite.
Her illustration style ‘is a work in progress’, and her work is inspired by street photographers and French artists.
When she is not illustrating, Caterina likes cooking, singing, reading and... drawing. She is interested in the little things of life.
Snoozette, her first picture book is being adapted for stage performance by the French Theatre in Perth, Australia.

She lives near Florence, Italy.
