Bernardine Hine is a Sunshine Coast artist, working in textiles and mixed media. Her work is very much about the local region. She makes field trips to photograph plants, landscapes, birds, and insects and uses these images as inspiration to then create her artwork from. This ranges from art quilts working larger scale to small thread paintings, showcasing the beauty of our wonderful flora, fauna, and local landscapes. She uses paints, inks and dyes to colour the fabric, with the details then embroidered free motion on a domestic sewing machine with a multitude of threads.
In A Variegated Pair (40x40cm), the birds were painted, free motion embroidered, then appliquéd to the hand-dyed background along with couched yarns and leaves, based on the macadamia tree in Bernardine’s garden.
