Jen is talking to Caroline Magerl an award-winning and internationally distinguished illustrator, cartoonist and painter, who is now recognised as a unique and arresting presence. Her work spans from dark, enigmatic oil paintings, through incisive cartoons, to lively children’s book illustrations. She has been exhibited in a variety of galleries and art fairs and celebrated in numerous publications.  

Caroline’s book illustrations are a compelling combination of a child’s innocence and experience placed within a richly imagined world. They are produced with unusual craftsmanship by the use of pen and ink line and cross hatching imposed over softly vibrant watercolour washes. From this, a distinct and pleasingly playful sense of surrealism has emerged. Caroline's latest book is Piano Fingers.  

Caroline Magerl lives and works on the lands of the Gubbi Gubbi people.
