Caroline Magerl was born in a small German town near Frankfurt and came to Australia when she was two. Soon after, in a suburban Sydney backyard, her parents built a yacht which became a home and way of life. Until Caroline was fourteen, the family sailed the east coast of Australia. At sixteen, Caroline joined another yacht, crossing the Tasman Sea to New Zealand. After the return voyage she worked as a cook, painting in her spare time. Caroline now works as an artist, illustrator and printmaker and received an ASA children's picture book illustrators' grant to work on Hasel and Rose. She has exhibited widely overseas and in Australia. ...more

Quotes by Caroline Magerl  (?)

“The unique pairing of verbal and visual language in the form of picture books has fascinated me forever.
Having now written my own text for the picture book, ‘Hasel and Rose’, I feel more respect than ever for what writers do.

Oddly, it has made me also more appreciative of the image makers.
Pictures have for me, been little emotional lightning rods.

Going through the contortions of putting into words what I would normally express in drawings was quite uncomfortable.
At one point I even tried to write in German, my first language. Anything to reach some kind of musical flow.
In my frustration, I oozed drawings until there was an embarrassing pile of avoidance….but you get the idea.

I am looking forward to doing it all again soon…”
