DESIGNER & SCREEN PRINTER
In 2014, Anna Sutherland launched her exclusive line of screen-printed textiles, offering a vibrant collection of unique lifestyle products for your home. With a passion for art and design that blossomed in her rural upbringing in the New England, NSW, Anna’s journey led her to complete a Bachelor of Visual Arts, majoring in Textiles (Honours) at the Australian National University in 2013.
Anna’s work features a playful use of various textile techniques, resulting in bold, heavily patterned designs. Each fabric design begins as a hand drawn creation before being transformed into repeat patterns on the computer, ready for diverse applications. Every piece is screen printed by Anna in her studio, located in the shearers' quarters on her parents’ merino property just outside Uralla, NSW.
In late 2018, Anna expanded her creative vision by opening Anna & Co. Artisan Homewares and Gifts in her hometown Uralla, NSW. The store not only features her textile products but also showcases the work of other talented Australian designers and makers.
Alongside her textiles label, Anna has taken on the Dinoplanters business, where she paints quirky and fun dinosaur planters to bring a playful touch to your home and office - seriously fun!
Now based in Canberra, ACT, where her creative journey began, Anna continues to nurture her artistic roots. Her print studio remains in Uralla, blending the charm of her childhood home with her vibrant, contemporary designs.
