Linden Lancaster is an artist who lives on a farm, near the edge of the Barmah forest, in Northern Victoria. Her unique quilts have been exhibited both nationally and internationally and featured in various publications.
Linden is inspired by emotive ideas, colour and observing the environment around her. Her past work is mainly pictorial using many different themes and techniques. She is currently refining her processes, in an attempt to make her work more loose and impressionistic in style.
Much of Linden’s fabric is hand-crafted via a variety of surface design techniques, such as dyeing, discharging, painting and printing. Linden uses her own photos and sketches as a starting point.

Statement: The traditional burning system employed by central Australian people produces a mosaic of plant communities in different stages of fire recovery – a true metamorphosis of the environment as the regeneration and germination of seeds and rhizomes allows the replenishment of grasses, bushes and trees. Bush tucker for everyone!
