Lynne Farmer, also known as 'Jack and Lilia', from Gloucestershire, England.

Lynne has been making bears professionally since 1996. Having an artistic background as a children’s book illustrator, Lynne approaches her work with great depth and imagination, to create more eccentric and distinctive characters, time and time again. Inspired by the primitive work of Japanese artists, Lynne's 'little teds collection' provides her with a way to combine her love for teddy bear art with primitive innocence. A very talented lady!

*Lynne has created five adorable bears for our Winter Collection 2010. This collection demonstrates some of the different styles of bears created by this very talented artist. Launch date the 3rd of September.
