We have always had an interest in textiles and made our first ‘quilt’ together in 1972, but it was not until 1988 that we began to take a serious interest in textile art.

A sampler quilt was made, we then began to experiment using a rich colour palette and hand stitch, then came the use of fabric paint and textural free motion machine stitch. We began to design together collaboratively and continue to do so. We enjoy the development process of our work and combined interest.

We have exhibited nationally and internationally and are represented in international and Australian private collections. Work in public collections includes the ACT Hospice, Parliament House Art Collection, the ACT Government Library Service and the ACT Heritage Library.

Hot Lava III Beth & Trevor Reid      Corundum Beth & Trevor Reid Let's Dance

Black and White

Retail Price: NFS
Dimensions: 180x180cm (H x W)
Statement:  Using a composition of strictly black and white fabrics in different ratios to create an illusion of tonal values radiating from the central blocks to the outer border.
Exhibitions: Second Place Large Quilt Professional 2019 Canberra Quilters Exhibition.
Photographer: David Paterson

Snapshots

Retail Price: NFS
Dimensions: 120 x 100 (H x W)
Statement:  Travelling the Canola trail in the Riverina we follow roads that snake though Canola fields on our way to Wagga Wagga. In spring the sight of these fields in full colour is awe inspiring, regardless of the time of day they dominate the colours of the landscape.
Exhibitions: 6th Biennial Golden Textures Contemporary Art Quilt Exhibition at Central Goldfields Art Gallery, Maryborough, Victoria
Photographer: David Paterson

Collections: Hot Lava III (triptych)

Retail Price: NFS
Dimensions: 180 x 165cm (H x W)
Statement:  Collecting appeals, the objects provide interest on a number of levels, their shapes, individuality, colour and the story behind them, it all becomes part of the process, its colour, interesting shapes and amazing thick lava like glazes provided the concept for the process behind these quilts
Exhibitions: tACTile Travelling Exhibtion 2007
Photographer: David Paterson

Corundum

Retail Price: NFS
Dimensions: 150 x 154cm (H x W)
Statement:  Denim is a tough and resilient fabric. Sapphire, one of the hardest gemstones in the Corundum family, occurs in a trigonal structure. The use of dark denim triangles through to washed out blues suggests a crystal structure in this triangular quilt.
Exhibitions: The New Quilt 2021
Photographer: David Paterson

Let’s Dance

Retail Price: NFS
Dimensions:  146x146cm (H x W)
Statement:  An exercise in using plain coloured fabric and a traditional quilt block. This colourful small quilt makes the eyes dance with the movement created by blending many colours together into 7.5cm square blocks.
Exhibitions: 2nd Prize Professional Canberra Quilters Annual Exhibition 2021
Photographer: David Paterson

Congratulations to OZQN member June Brown who is r Congratulations to OZQN member June Brown who is recognised in the Australia Day Honours for outstanding service to community and creative arts.

・・・
Wangaratta Art Gallery wishes to congratulate June Brown who has today been recognised in the Australia Day Honours for outstanding service to community.

June has been awarded an Order of Australia (OAM) Medal, for service to the Creative Arts. June has made an exceptional lifetime commitment to the quilting and textile craft and art forms at a local and national level. Her practice and contributions have raised the profile of these art forms, forged new techniques and simultaneously activated and enriched communities and organisations in the sector. She has cultivated the textile art practice and medium, and advanced quilting as an art form in Australia.

Importantly, June has collected women's stories, recorded women’s history, improved women’s wellbeing, and shared the stories of Australian Culture, landscapes, heritage and identity.

June has donated countless volunteer hours to projects, festivals, committees, and the service of Wangaratta Art Gallery. In recent years, June has shifter her support to Philanthropic funding both through her personal funds and her family’s Foundation ‘Kyamba’. Such a long-term, selfless and passionate contribution with substantial impacts on community wellbeing, cultural growth and enrichment, deserves recognition. 

Congratulations June, the Wangaratta Community celebrates your achievement 👏🏻⭐️🏅
