These 3 friends met at the Box Hill Community Arts Centre. After a successful exhibition in the Bolin Bolin Gallery in 2019 (more about the previous exhibition) they have decided to once again exhibit together.

Carly Leech

Carly has been working in textiles for 27 years, starting as a weaver and silk painter. Her current work involves “drawing” with a sewing machine or free motion machine embroidery. She also explores 3D forms. The garden bowls were developed over a number of years, working out the best sewing methods and flower stitching to the right stiffener. A lot of Carly’s work is inspired by nature, colour and texture and mixing her different techniques together. Carly has been involved in previous exhibitions in the Bolin Bolin Gallery – Renewal in 2018 and Triple stitch in 2016.

She was introduced to making traditional baskets in 1986 when she was awarded a teacher exchange to Pennsylvania USA for a year.

Jeanette has exhibited in the Bolin Bolin Gallery numerous times and also takes basket weaving workshops at Bulleen Art & Garden Find out more about Jeanette and about the basket workshops Jenie Yolland  

Jenie began with a passion for watercolour painting, and has also been working with kiln-formed glass for over 20 years. She is exhibited and collected widely. Her designs are directly inspired by nature soaring clouds, heart-warming sunsets, glistening raindrops on gum leaves, even a macro photograph of chlorophyll cells. Jenie loves the interplay of contrasts; enlivening the final result with splashes of sparkling dichroic glass that sparkles and reflects sunlight in the most magical way.
