Mia Charro

Mia Charro was born in Amorebieta, a beautiful town in Vizcaya in the North of Spain. She was brought up with her six siblings and an undefined number of cats in a small house surrounded by a magical setting: a church, fields through which to run, trees to climb, gardens to explore, sunflowers... And some ruins which they used to call “El Castillo” (the Castle).

Living in the countryside, near a “castle” influenced her imagination and her desire to create tales and stories, as well as her love of animals, starry skies and nature in general.

Now she is living her dream and has worked with Anthropologie, Ikea, Penguin Random House, Quarto Books, Dr Oz The Good Life, Better Homes and Gardens, Studio Oh...
