Nerida Hansen is a visionary in the world of fabrics and sewing, renowned for her positive energy, extraordinary creativity, and discerning eye for colour. As a female entrepreneur from Australia, Nerida has drawn on experience as both an artist and buyer to create her textile and sewing pattern empire “Nerida Hansen Fabrics”. Nerida's remarkable talent for creativity has always been the cornerstone of her success.

As a teenage art student, Nerida cherished 20th century colourists such as Rothko, Kupka and Matisse. Already in awe of Sonia Delaunay’s innovative translation of colour and form to fashion textiles, a year spent in Copenhagen in 1997 cemented her passion for art on fabric.Whether she is designing herself, or curating collections with other licensed artists, Nerida continues to push the boundaries of original art as a wearable textile. Her design ethos reflects vibrant, living designs with a unique, imaginative flair. Her deep-rooted passion for color in particular, has been a driving force behind her acclaimed work. Every hue and shade she selects carries a story or mood, resulting in clothing and textiles that resonate with a deep, visual harmony.
