Veronica Priestley, a Territory artist/designer and world traveller, designs and paints artisan silk fabric, for fashion and interiors.

Originally a studio designer in Sydney; creator of original textile designs for a thriving fashion and textile industry. Veronica moved to Darwin and its tropical vitality and colour, inspired her to paint on silk with rich and vibrant dyes. The beginning of a long love affair with hand painted silk that continues today.

Veronica’s hand-crafted fabrics are beautifully coloured, often multi-textured with bold designs. They may incorporate batik, shibori, carved lino and stencil prints.

Veronicas’ travels in India have been her source of inspiration for ‘Journey’. The exhibition will show travel-inspired hand-painted silk fabrics and silk jewellery, photographs and travel journal art.
