Painting nature - Jacqui's botanical art


These beautiful paintings are by one of the newest members of the Linen House design studio - Jacqui Baxter .  Alongside her talent (and speed!) for designing textiles,  Jacqui is also an accomplished botanic artist and part time lecturer at RMIT Textile Design, specifically teaching painting techniques to students.  I look forward to seeing Jacqui's painterly designs featured in the Linen House bed linen collection soon!




I love this Japonica study.


And this delicate rose....

Thanks Jacqui for sharing your work!

  3. Hi Kat - I love her work and its very inspiring to have a floral master in the studio. I haven't really used inks before but I think its time to have a bit of a dabble as it is a lovely technique.
    All of the CAD girls have asked Jacqui to do a one day painting course with them, so its good to know that hand-painted textile design is still hanging in there!

    I love the wattle painting. A hard subject matter but treated with care and skill!

  5. Wow - what stunning work. I can see how delicate this style of work will be for bedding. Lovely use of colour too.
