One of a Kind

Monique van Nieuwland creates high quality handwoven wearables and homeware items. Be enticed by colours and textures and strong design elements. Monique uses natural materials, some of which she hand dyes.

Van Nieuwland's textile practice uses contemporary techniques and materials, keeping loom weaving vibrant and relevant as a form of expression. Her artwork focusses on the human relationships and the ephemeral existence in a threatened natural environment. Besides her conceptual work, she enjoys teaching weaving and creating series of wearables and home ware items.

Throughout her weaving practice she has used imagery to convey concepts. For the last ten years, a jacquard loom, which is cutting edge digital technology, has been her main tool.

Van Nieuwland is an Accredited Professional Member of Craft + Design Canberra and Life Member of Canberra Spinners & Weavers. Her work has been exhibited and collected, nationally and internationally.
