Ida Sherbourne Rentoul Outhwaite was born in Melbourne on 9 June 1888 to Annie Isobel Rattray and John Laurence Rentoul, a Professor at the University of Melbourne. She showed artistic talent as a young child and published her first book at the age of 16. Although she never received formal training, Outhwaite published over 60 books in her lifetime and received acclaim for her whimsical pen-and-ink watercolors. In the 1920's and 30's she had numerous one-woman exhibits throughout Europe and Australia. She illustrated magazines, cards, songbooks, and advertising materials. Outhwaite illustrated a comic strip for a children's page of the Weekly Times from February 1933 until August 1939 when it was cancelled due to the start of World War II. The main character, Benjamin Bear, was a combination teddy bear and koala bear. Outhwaite died on 25 June 1960.
