Creative workshops
Embracing the philosophy of ‘Designing from Country’, we’ll gather natural materials as tools, transforming them into eco-dyed silk scarves, weaving or bush jewellery that you can call your own.
Join us for these one-day workshops as we yarn, create and connect on Country!
For corporate gifts, corporate workshops, commissioned artwork, framed and unframed prints, designed fabrics for fashion and home interior contact us.
Fashion
As an award winning fashion designer, my collections consist of First Nation stories told through sustainable cloth and Cultural adornments made of natural materials from Mother Earth.
Healing is a universal narrative, and my collection draws inspiration from First Nations stories of healing journeys.
Art
My art is deeply connected to stories of place and local Culture. As a Boonwurrung, Palawa, Yorta Yorta, Wiradjuri, Wonnarua, Gamilaroi woman living on Gadigal and Dharug Land, I design from Country, drawing on local stories and customs.
I have extensive experience creating bespoke pieces catered to specific needs, across artworks, murals and sculptures. For commissioned artworks, please get in touch!
An online store is coming soon! In the mean time please subscribe.
Debra Beale
My connection to Gadigal and Dharug Country, is a deep spiritual connection. My lineage connects me to freshwater and sea waters through my mother’s bloodlines from the Boonwurrung, Palawa and YortaYorta Nations. My connection also flows through the Wiradjuri, Wonnarua and Gamilaraay Nations through my father’s lineage.
My artistic journey is deeply rooted in my connection to Ngayi Parri, or ‘Mother Earth’. Caring for land, sea and sky are our stories of sustainable practices and sustainable living.
My designs share stories of lived experiences as a First Nation woman from Australia and the impact that first contact of white settlers has had on my people and me. Storytelling is healing and my collections are inspired by the stories of my own healing journey, and that of my community.
