Anne de Nooijer is a contemporary visual artist predominantly working with reclaimed or natural textiles. Originally from the Netherlands, she now lives on Birpai country. Anne’s practice focuses on intricate sewn and woven artworks often showing contemporary scenes. Her woven artworks flow organically, guided by instinct, while sewing demands precision and planning. This fusion of approaches creates a calming balance, reflecting both her artistic process and her personal expression.

Anne’s approach to her art is influenced by a concern for the natural environment, motivating her to predominantly use sustainable and foraged materials, selecting natural fibres and utilizing waste products such as onion and avocado skins, to create her own natural dyes. Her work is very deliberately crafted and the time it takes to create a certain artwork is a slow, considered and meditative process. Through her work, she explores the rich tapestry of what it means to be alive and the diversity of human nature. Anne makes references to social issues & pop culture through contemporary textured pieces often using multiple techniques (drawing, free machine embroidery, sewing, applique, embroidery, weaving, macrame, woodworking, pattern drawing, spinning).
