Abraham Schroeder is an artist, designer, and writer, currently living in Petaluma, California with his family, after residing in a dozen other places, including Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Minnesota, Alaska, and Japan.

At Amherst College, he majored in Asian Studies and Fine Arts, and spent two years in Kyoto, Japan, studying, teaching, and translating, before attending the Master of Fine Arts program at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

He worked for 7 years in the Asian Art Department at the Museum of Fine Arts, and during that time managed a massive 5-year project to catalog, digitize, and rehouse the MFA's spectacular collection of 50,000+ Japanese prints.

An 1880’s woodblock print of bats by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in the MFA collection was the seed of inspiration for his first published book, The Gentleman Bat , from Ripple Grove Press. The book was illustrated by a friend from graduate school, Piotr Parda, and many of the paintings in the book contain nods to some of their favorite artists and artworks.

His second book, Too Many Tables , also from Ripple Grove Press was illustrated by his cousin, Micah Monkey, and features fun, colorful illustrations alongside a comically entertaining story.
