Eloise Wilkin. Three days ago that would have been my answer. But after discovering Show and Tell - Exploring the Fine Art of Children’s Book Illustration by Dilys Evans I’m not so sure.
Evans explores the work of several award winning children’s book illustrators. She gives a brief background of each and traces the path the artist took to becoming published. In addition, she analyzes a few examples of each illustrator’s work for content and style. After reading this book, I am looking forward to reading books by these illustrators: Harry Bliss, Bryan Collier, Denise Fleming, Trina Schart Hyman, Hilary Knight, Betsy Lewin, Petra Mathers, David Shannon, David Wiesner, and Paul Zelinksy.

You should put links to each of the illustrators you mention.
Good idea. Click on the illustrator's name to see examples.
