Grace Inez Crawford

She was born in Paris in 1889, daughter of Theron Clark Crawford, an American entrepreneur, and a highly trained amateur pianist.

Her father's professional projects (including work with Buffalo Bill Cody's "Wild West Show") caused the family to reside in various European and American cities, but England was considered home.

Crawford received training in voice, ballet, piano, and music theory, as well as French, German and Italian.

After Fraser's death, Crawford promoted and protected his artistic legacy through exhibitions and publications.

In 1923 she formed a firm with Norman Wilkinson and a Mr. Trevelean that specialized in scenery and dress for the theatre, interior decoration for the home, hand printed fabrics, and "modern" clothing.
