Autoren-Porträt von Shirley Marr
Shirley Marr is a first-generation Chinese-Australian author living in sunny Perth. Shirley describes herself as having a Western mind and an Eastern heart and likes to write in the space in the middle where both collide, basing her stories on her own personal experiences of migration and growing up. Arriving in mainland Australia from Christmas Island as a seven-year-old in the 1980s and experiencing the good, the bad and the wonder that comes with culture shock, Shirley has been in love with reading and writing from that early age. Hello! My name is Kathrin Honesta, an illustrator based in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Kathrin focuses more on story-telling & book-related projects but has also done works for brands & advertising. Her works are mostly inspired by her reflective thoughts, faith, and life in general, and she loves to use symbolism & visual metaphors to add layers to her works.
