Ruth Green is a talented artist who was commissioned by Tate to illustrate and write "Noisy Neighbours" for their children's picture book collection. I am enchanted by the colorful illustrations of owls, birds, snails, squirrels, bees, ducks and badgers. Ruth's work shows influences of retro patterns, 1970s wallpaper, and 60s and 70s Scandinavian ceramics. The detail in her characters and her use of bold colors makes every page of the book a feast for the eyes. Available here.
