Distel, Anne-Karoline: - "Anne-Karoline Distel grew up in East Germany. Her interests are manifold: She has an M.A. in German and English literature and linguistics from the University of Leipzig, plays several instruments and has published works of a historic nature. Since coming to Ireland in 2016, she has been focussing more on the arts - sketching people in pubs, drawing historic sites and painting and printing birds. 100 Birds of Ireland in Watercolour is her first book publication as a visual artist."
