Deborah WACE - Botanical artist

Deborah WACE - Botanical artist Deborah Wace is a botanical artist, fabric designer and professional printmaker from Cygnet, Tasmania Both films can be viewed on her website.

The Deborah WACE range includes exquisite silk scarves and hankies, European flax linen cushions, elaborate wallpaper art and limited edition prints. Deborah’s inspiration for her range is drawn from her extensive, private plant specimen collection that has been gathered and digitised over 30 years. She combines digital plant images with dry point and mono-print original artwork and etchings, whic

h she layers using computer software to create rich, complex botanical designs on fine fabric, wallpaper and a range of architectural substrates. Deborah uses sustainable production and printing processes. Advocating for Tasmania’s wild and endangered botany to protect threatened species and valuable ecological, historical and cultural environments, is an important part of Deborah’s work. She was a key member of the community campaign to protect the north-east peninsula of Recherche Bay from logging in the early 2000s, using her artwork and song-writing skills to highlight its conservation values. The French d’Entrecasteaux expedition documented this landscape in the 1790s, and gathered important pioneering scientific collections. Deborah’s 2018 Churchill Fellowship took her to Europe to study the botanical records of this and other French expeditions to Tasmania. Aside from her Fellowship report, her experiences were captured in a short film, ‘Fabric of Botany’. In 2021, the material she gathered inspired another short film, ‘The Sartorial Naturalist’. This multiform art collaboration with nationally and internationally recognised film makers, designers, musicians, and costume and dance professionals, is an autobiographical fantasy showcasing both her artistic practice and her latest botanical designs, printed onto silk. Explore the Deborah WACE range via her website or by visiting her Studio in Hobart, Tasmania.
