Elizabeth Blackadder is one of Scotland’s finest artists. She studied at Edinburgh College of Art and belongs to a long tradition of Scottish artists whose use of colour is widely recognised. Her interest in Japan (reflected in her work) make her the perfect artist to illustrate a book of haiku and tanka.
