Ferry Park ‘Artist of the Month’ for February

Michelle Philip works with textiles. Michelle lives with her family in Woombah, who all share her passion for creativity, sustainability, environment, travel and adventure.

Michelle describes her work as; “I have always made my own clothes – and made for others. I collect from all places – garage sales, op shops, antique stores, and on my travels. Textile art has always been my passion for many years, and I studied textile design at QUT. My clothing provokes a sense of nostalgia, fun and playfulness and being unique. Everything is made with the fabric being the inspiration for the piece. This is sustainable fashion, giving fabric a second lease of life and new adventures worn by those who dare to be different. No two pieces are the same.”

Michelle also has a Facebook page and website as Geckos New Tail.
