Book illustrator mystery!

Not an artist I know so might anyone be aware of Noreen Spillane? She illustrated books by Sinéad de Valera. This watercolour (inspired by Yeats' "The Stolen Child"?) is titled Come Away, Oh! Human Child...

But is it signed "Etssie"?

Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.

In tombs of gold & lapis lazuli
Bodies of holy men & women exude
Miraculous oil, odour of violet.
But under heavy loads of trampled clay
Lie bodies of the vampires full of blood;
Their shrouds are bloody and their lips are wet.
—WB Yeats, Oil & Blood.

‘Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of
weeping than you can understand’

"Come away, O, human child!
To the woods and waters wild
With a fairy hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you can understand."

It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face; W B Yeats.Good Morning 🌸

But feel the strange heart beating where it lies?"

The whole thing about Rowling writing a novel about all the people who are mean to her on Twitter reminds me of how Aleister Crowley wrote Moonchild and populated it with characters based on his rivals and enemies (including W.B. Yeats), except Moonchild is actually a fun read.
