Painting in textile

Phegan's Bay resident, Sabine Parge, was born in Germany and started her career as a graphic designer there, until she discovered her favourite medium was fabric.
Her extended travels around the world have exposed her to many local fabric-making and textile art methods.
Sabine refers to her fabric collages as "painting in textile" to distinguish her artwork from that of a quilter or patchworker.
Her aim is to introduce her art form as being of equal value to a painting in the conservative sense.
Sabine has exhibited successfully in galleries in NSW, Japan and Germany.
She also teaches fabric collage and the older craft of rug-hooking at her studio and in summer schools.
Her work has appeared on television and was included in a video series for students majoring in art.
Her studio is open on weekends for the general public.
