What is a monotype you ask? It is a unique print, typically painterly in effect, made by applying paint or printing ink to a flat sheet of metal, glass, or plastic. The painted image is transferred to paper either by manually rubbing or using a press. Once the paper is dry (which can take seveal days) watercolour has been applied to the paper to add a splash of colour! Artwork is unframed

Each book is hand signed by Caroline and comes with a bonus bookplate sticker for inside the cover. Nop has recently awarded an honor mention for 2020 - Picture Book of the year - Australian Children's Book Council of Australia. A heartwarming picture book from award-winning author-illustrator Caroline Magerl about two unlikely loners who forge a forever friendship.
Nop is a scruffy kind of bear. He sits on a dusty armchair in Oddmint's Dumporeum surrounded by the beaders, knitters, patchers and stitchers who are much too busy to talk to him. So he watches the litter tumble until, armed with a new bow tie, he has an idea that will change his life forever. This story began with a memory of Caroline's school holidays in Sydney. Her father was welding a steel yacht in a boat yard and she wandered off . . . only to discover the local dump, a home for the things people throw out!
Many years later, her daughter Jen made a teddy bear out of scraps for her father. It's a very sorry-looking, but endearing creature. Named Roadkill, ten years later it still sits on top of his desk.

For a time, we lived in a bay in Pittwater, north of Sydney. Being one of the larger yachts, we were assigned a mooring further out in the bay, so it was quite a long row ashore, and once there, I spent many hours exploring the bush of Elvina Bay. My favourite place was at the end of the bay where a stream came down a gully and flowed into the shallow water there. On very big tides, the sand banks were well under water and the mangrove trees became islands of green, disconnected from the land with their boughs dipping into the water. Wading out to these sea trees, one could have the unique experience of climbing up and being in the canopy of a tree that was literally growing out of the water. It was like a world unto itself, birds would come and go, and there was the added melancholy charm of knowing the tide would soon ebb and the spell broken. The idea of the sea tree emerged for a while in writing my picture book, Hasel and Rose, I have drawings of the tree travelling across oceans with Hasel and Rose riding in the leaves. This idea did not make it into the book, but returned in this painting of a girl in her travelling socks on a sea voyage with a bird.

This image was painted from a very small and grainy, black and white family photo, which had been taken before I was born. In painting this, I find it is impossible to visit the past without changing it. Because I knew this subject well (my Oma –grandma) I still feel I am in conversation with her. Our relationship and its contentions are ongoing…our argument over clothing is ongoing too. Oma would not have worn a hot pink coat.

Piano Room. I frequently use old family photographs. Often, as was the case here, they are people who I have never met and yet I have a strong connection with. Because I am currently writing a story with a music theme, I seek out images to support the work I am doing. What better image to use, than a woman who was standing in a room among a group of players.

Garden Portrait. I often use the material around me, our gardens, our settings. After many years of watching my daughter grow up on the Sunshine Coast, she has come to provide the perfect centerpiece. To me it’s like a fly in amber … a moment in time.
