Kitty Crowther is a children's book illustrator but she was pointed out to me because of her naive style of image making in her furniture. For example the armchair below; It suits her intended audience and is finished to a strong quality and produced using colouring crayons.
"Kitty Crowther is the master of line but also of atmosphere. She maintains the tradition of the picture book while transforming and renewing it. In her world, the door between imagination and reality is wide open. She addresses the reader gently and personally, but with profound effect. In her deeply felt empathy with people in difficulty, she shows ways in which weakness can be turned into strength. Humanism and sympathy permeate and unify her artistry."
