has
been printing textiles for over 20 years
since graduating with a diploma in Fine Arts from Seven
Hills College of Art, Brisbane, Queensland in 1976.
During
the 1980's Alison had numerous exhibitions of
her distinctive wall hangings depicting Australian Birds
which evolved into the much sought after current range
of designs on T-shirts and soft furnishings which she
now produces with assistance from her husband, Max.
has 17 years experience working closely with Australian
animals and birds as a zookeeper. In
1989 he left Taronga Zoo to follow a passion for horticulture,
now specialising in Australian native plants. His subsequent
hands-on knowledge of Australian flora and fauna brings
integrity and an emphasis on scientific accuracy to the
work.
One
of the most distinctive features of many of our designs
that our customers really
love
is the use of an
entirely different, but related image
on
the back
of each T-shirt
e.g
On the Rainbow Bee-eater T-shirt (No. 2)
the bird chases the dragonfly
on the front and then catches it on the back.
Some designs (e.g Gouldian Finches No.15) require up to
ten overlays of colour on the front image and as many colours
again for the different image on the back of the shirt.
We
use as many colours and transparencies as necessary to produce
a realistic image and all our inks are meticulously mixed
by us to be correct and true to the subject matter.
Other
designs draw on Alison's careful draftsmanship to depict
the subject with accuracy using only one or two colours.
Only
top quality Australian cotton is used for our clothing range
.
All
our products are cold machine washable and designed to last.
For
all these reasons, our work is extremely popular and sought
after as a quality product designed to last.
