CAROLINE AMBRUS
I was born in 1938 in Kyogle, NSW. I worked as a librarian in the Commonwealth Public Service during the 1960s. During the seventies I studied art and completed a Bachelor of Education.
I have periodically taught Art in Canberra’s schools and colleges. I established my imprint of irrePRESSible Press and published “Australian Women Artists, First Fleet to 1945” in 1992 and “The Unseen Art Scene” in 1995.
Concurrently with my writing and publishing career, I have also worked as a practising and exhibiting artist with solo shows at Barry Stern’s Gallery, Sydney in 1982 and Pro le Gallery, Melbourne in 1984, plus participating in many group shows.
I have written, illustrated and published my own children’s stories as well as co-authoring and illustrating the work of others. My ambition is to publish quality children’s books that cover issues of concern to readers, both young and old.
