Early 20th century sketcher and book illustrator. She was a contemporary of Grace Crowley and Myra Cocks - the three women were among the 'younger skilled brigade' at Julian Ashton's Art School. Crane made little distinction between so called high art and decorative work, and became very well known for her stylised aesthetic.
