Ethel Jackson Morris' whimsical illustrations caught the eye of the Australian public when she published her first book 'All Among the Fairies' in 1909 at just seventeen years old. Attending the National Gallery Art School as a teenager, Ethel concurrently appeared in her first exhibition with the Victorian Artists' Society alongside other prominent illustrators and artists such as Harold Gaze and Ethel Spowers. Shortly after this, Jackson Morris was selected to contribute to a book published by Dame Nellie Melba and held her first solo exhibition at the Fine Art Society's Gallery in 1921.
