Art & Fashion

As some people may know, I originally studied Fashion Illustration in college. If we go further back, I also wanted to be a shoe designer when I was a kid and I declared I would go to fashion school in New York from age 8. While I didn’t become a shoe designer, I did study figure drawing for fashion which has influenced my stylizing and technique. At the time Fashion Illustration/Lifestyle Illustration wasn’t being used as often and photography was more of the trend. A decade later I am seeing SO MUCH fashion and lifestyle illustration being bought again and I love it!

During quarantine I was able to join the Society of Illustrators fashion drawing evening and it reminded me of how much I used to love this. So I decided to run an event here in Hobart with the gallery/school I work for - Nolan Art Gallery & School of Art. Pairing up with Tasmanian fashion brand, Keshet Design, is the icing on the cake!

The fabulous models, Stefi and Marlin.

The Magnolia dress is one of Keshet’s most popular designs - suitable for ALL shapes and sizes, one of their core ethics.

Hope to see you there next week if you are local!
