The artists behind Field Day
We are Louise Jones and Shelley Steer, the two artists behind Field Day. Our friendship began in 2010 whilst working together in the fast fashion industry. Inspired to find more creative freedom, we both departed to work independently. Within months we were sharing a studio space and our first collaborative project was born—A Side Project, this kickstarted our own solo careers as freelance artists.
A little bit about Louise…
Louise has a Bachelor of Communication Design with 15 years of experience working in the design industry. She has worked with a variety of clients including Robert Gordon, Basil Bangs, Abercrombie & Fitch and Rebel Walls. Louise lives in the Dandenong Ranges with her young family amongst the beautiful lushness of tree ferns and large mountain ash eucalypts.
A little bit about Shelley…
Shelley has a Bachelor of Arts (Textile Design) and has worked for 15 years in the illustration and textile industry. She has worked with a variety of clients including, Vogue Living, National Gallery of Victoria, Anthropologie, The Plant Society and Petite Friture. Shelley shares a studio space in the beautiful Abbotsford Convent.
We had contemplated how to join our artistic talents and shared love of patterns throughout our years working solo. We decided to bite the bullet in 2020 during the pandemic and its lengthy lockdowns in our city of Melbourne, Australia. This created the time we needed to begin our dreams for Field Day.
We are very excited to share our journey, original artwork and patterned offerings. Follow along on our Blog, Instagram and Subscribe to our newsletter below to be the first to know about studio happenings, launches and special subscriber offers.
