Business name: Denise Lithgow Designs
Based on the landscape, and a strong sense of colour and design I react to what feels right as I create my work.
Born on a sheep property I’ve grown up with wool and so it is not surprising that felting is the process I use to create my vessels.
Once I was introduced to felt I was captivated by its tactile qualities, rich range of colours and the magical meshing of fibres, which then can be manipulated into forms and shapes to create vessels.I use felt as it’s an ecological, sustainable textile.
I am represented in galleries though out Australia and internationally and I exhibit my textile art and sculpture regularly in group exhibitions, art prizes and international exhibitions.2021 "Yellow Cocoon" Sculpture was a finalist in the Australian Fibre Art Award and won excellence in Felting Award and my sculptures were exhibited at a group exhibition in The Netherlands and Chateau De Gizeuz, France .
