Margie Moore has lived on the Jersey Shore all of her life. Fascinated with storybook illustrations, she began to draw and to study the works of famous children's illustrators of the early 1900s. After raising a family with her husband Kenny, Moore started pursuing a career in children's book illustrations. Her whimsical style in pen & ink and watercolor was initially published by Cherubic Press, on the front cover of Hearth Song Catalog and in LadyBug Magazine. However her big break was illustrating two children's books, "Count The Ways, Little Brown Bear" by Jonathan London (Dutton Children's Books) and "A Gull's Story" by Frank Finale (Jersey Shore Publications). These books contain dozens of reproductions of beautiful watercolor illustrations by the artist, the originals of which are treasured by children of all ages. Both books have sequels, one now available ("Do Your ABC's Little Brown Bear") and the other in the works.

More recently she has illustrated books such as: "Ruby Bakes A Cake" and "Ruby Paints a Picture" written by Susan Hill (HarperCollins Children's Books), "Fuzzy Wuzzy Bunny Tails" written by Raegan Randolph (Grosset & Dunlap), a series of Backpack Books published by Barnes & Noble and "Bartholomew's Blessing" by Stephanie Tolan and more.

Margie Moore's original book illustrations are painted in watercolor and are available at the Anchor & Palette Gallery. Also available are book proofs signed by the artist.
