ABOUT LIMITED EDITION ART SCARVES
Joanne and Julia Ritson come from a family of artists. Raised in rural Australia, the two sisters share a number of artistic qualities: scale, colour, and an eye for fine detail. Julia Ritson explores abstraction, adding a vibrant chapter to a century-old tradition. In contrast, Joanne Ritson brings a 21st Century perspective to the venerable history of landscape painting, that of virtual not physical worlds. Joanne and Julia embrace the manifold potential of textile printing in their limited edition art scarves, extending and enriching their traditional studio practices.
