The Gallery
Jude Taylor Studio showcases Jude's art and it is her passion for wildflowers and their the striking beauty in the West Australian landscape is her inspiration.
JT PRODUCTION VALUES
Our handprinted fabrics are prints, not reproductions. We want to create products that translate Jude's art as faithfully as possible, and so the handprinted aspect of our products is important to us. Each length of fabric has been printed by hand with hand-mixed inks, just as each piece of Jude Taylor's linocut art has been handprinted & handcoloured.
Jude Taylor Studio favours ethical and artisanal production. The producers that work with us have been chosen for their approach to their craft. We prefer - and choose - the handmade over the machine produced, the handprinted over the digitally printed, small businesses over large factories, limited edition runs over mass production. As a family-run business, we feel lucky to be able to work with other small, family-based producers in Australia. We are proud of knowing our producers well and supporting ethical production.
JUDE TAYLOR AND TRUDY HARDMAN ART WORK AT THE GALLEY
Jude Taylor Gallery at Taylor's Café in Swan Valley has a fresh new look, bringing together the work of two Western Australian artists whose practices celebrate the beauty, diversity and spirit of our natural world.
Artists Jude Taylor and Trudy Hardman have combined their artistic journeys to create an exhibition that is both complementary and unique. Although they work in different mediums and styles, their shared passion for Western Australia shines through every piece on display.
Jude Taylor's linocut prints are inspired by the extraordinary flora of Western Australia. Her work captures the intricate details and character of native plants, paying homage to the landscapes that make this region so remarkable.
Trudy Hardman's ceramic artworks explore themes of birds, women and nature, drawing inspiration from the stories and connections that exist between people and the environment. Her pieces bring together colour, form and symbolism in a celebration of Western Australia's wildlife and creative spirit.
Together, their works create a beautiful conversation between flora and fauna, printmaking and ceramics, a collaboration that highlights the richness of Western Australia's natural heritage in all its glory.
The Gallery is also a place for creativity and community. Both artists are passionate about sharing their knowledge and regularly offer workshops for those wishing to explore their own artistic practice.
"We love what we do, and we hope you'll enjoy discovering the stories, inspiration and craftsmanship behind our work." Whether you're visiting the Swan Valley for the day or looking for a unique artistic experience, we invite you to step into the Gallery and celebrate Western Australian art with us.
