Hello! I am Katinka Horváth, the illustrator behind Ann December. Ann is my second given name, and December is the month I was born in. I grew up in Köppern, a very small town in the middle of Gemany, located between fields, forests, and hills. We had a big dog when I was a kid, and I was responsible for the afternoon walks. These times in nature, only accompanied by my dog Eyka, still have a huge influence on my life and work. Being kind to animals, living a vegetarian life, and spending as much time in nature as I can, are very important to me.

I am specialized in children’s books, editorial, and stationery, and I love to paint children characters, dwarfs, elves, animals, nature, and everything sentimental or magical.
