Robin Cowcher is an illustrator, art director and designer with more than three decades' experience in books, magazines and newspapers. She is both a painter and drawer, and her work in Annie's Farmhouse Kitchen will bring these talents together in evocative watercolours that capture the essence of Annie Smithers' world. Robin's relationship with Annie dates back to her days illustrating a regular column Annie wrote for The Age newspaper, and to that end, Robin is perfectly placed to bring an artist's eye and perspective to the book. Robin's recent successes include several children's books, perhaps most notably Little Dog and The Christmas Wish, which was recreated for Myer's iconic Christmas windows in Bourke Street, central Melbourne.
