JUDE WHITE
Jude White is a painter, printmaker and textile artist.
Whites' work is primarily influenced by Australia’s natural environment, the challenges it faces and the loss of wild places.
Early in her career, Jude had a textile design label 'Lizard of Oz' and completed several artist residencies in Melbourne.
She has worked extensively in the Indigenous Arts sector.
Recent partnerships have been with Injalak Arts & Crafts and Ikuntji Artists, assisting in the creation of repeat textile designs.
After a hiatus in her arts practice, Jude’s current work reflects the colours, shapes and textures of the landscape through painting, botanical dyeing, printmaking, collage and cloth.
She uses a combination of materials and techniques on large scale paper and silks. In her work she aims to invoke a deep devotion of this sacred land and inspire others to appreciate and care for it.
