Feliz Home co-founder launches painting career

If you’re a long-time reader, you’ll be familiar with the lovely homewares label Feliz Home as we’ve featured it many times. Specialising primarily in bedding, the boutique brand was co-founded by Geelong-based Janey Forbes who recently made the decision to sell the business to explore a full-time career as an artist.

“Designing, painting and drawing were always the most enjoyable parts of running a bedding business and I’ve always had a burning desire to paint and create. The time feels right to move a bunch of obstacles out of my way and see what happens if I have the chance,” says Janey, who recently joined the Greenhouse Interiors stable after Julia Green got in touch.

Jane Forbes
‘Pretty Young Thing’

Describing her career trajectory as ‘really curvy,’ the latest move doesn’t look that surprising when you consider Janey’s past which has included roles in event management, product development at Hallmark Cards and a stint in the not-for-profit sector inspired by a year spent in South America. “After all that, I had my first child, and while on maternity leave, I felt I had to do something!” says Janey who started Feliz Home with her friend and former work colleague Melissa Alessi in response.

‘Air Waves’ and ‘Wanderlust’

“We threw ourselves into Feliz with very little experience in bedding, screen printing, running a business and motherhood; we were both juggling it all!” says Janey who started the business by importing an array of organic cotton from India and simply taking the plunge. “Our dream was to be creative and in control, rather than world domination. We earned some amazing exposure early on and grew a loyal customer base. It was exciting and I’m so proud of the path that the brand took. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but by far the most rewarding,” says Janey.

Seven years on, Janey and Melissa decided to sell Feliz Home, rather than simply close it. “We felt that we had put so much work into this little baby of ours, we really wanted to see it live on with some new energy,” says Janey who advertised, and was thrilled to find new owners eager to inject more love into the business.

As for her paintings (featured here), Janey is inspired by the way that children paint without inhibition and she’s a colour lover too. “My work is colourful, layered, a bit quirky and evolving. Whatever it is about the human brain, colour has so much power over us. I love colour and shapes that you want to wrap yourself in. Ultimately, my paintings are all trying to express some fun and beauty.”

Brisbane artist Beth Kennedy’s childhood calling

We’ve profiled many artists but it’s not often that we find one that was convinced of their career path as a child. “When I was about 16, I decided that I wanted to be a painter. I’d always loved to paint and draw and was loving my art classes in high school. I never wanted to do anything else,” says Brisbane artist Beth Kennedy who went on to study a Bachelor of Visual Arts at the Australian National University.

Beth Kennedy
‘Turning Tide’

After graduating, numerous group and solo exhibitions followed (Beth still exhibits at Anthea Polson Art Gallery on the Gold Coast), as did a number of magazine appearances. Beth’s work has appeared in Australian House & Garden and Belle magazine amongst others. For the last couple of years, she has been represented by Greenhouse Interiors who sell her original framed paintings and limited edition prints. “It’s been wonderful to be a part of such a dynamic, supportive and colour-loving group,” says Beth.

When it comes to her practice, Beth loves working with acrylic paint, gouache, watercolour, liquid acrylic and ink. She always starts by drawing from life before enlarging the image onto canvas and ‘washing in’ the image. “My paintings do seem to have minds of their own, quite often taking directions that I hadn’t anticipated – the ‘happy accidents’ that occur when I’m painting are all part of it for me and quite often my favourite parts of the painting,” says Beth.

Beth Kennedy
‘Birdsong’

Beth’s latest body of work is about the light and shade in life; loss, betrayal, acceptance and love. “There’s always an emotional narrative driving the painting – my stories and the stories of those around me. My paintings are layered labours of love; opaque areas of paint, patterns and lines all dance in and around each other as the paintings come to life,” says Beth.

Beth Kennedy
‘Silver Lining’

Beth’s influences are a disparate bunch – she’s particularly inspired by Australian artists Del Kathryn Barton and Cressida Campell as well as Japanese woodblock prints. “The flattening of the image has intrigued me since I was a student,” says Beth who turns to interiors magazines, fabrics and wallpapers for inspiration too.

“Also, I love a pop of neon, usually hot pink! To this and other shades of pink, I add blues, greens, oranges and black.”

Fleur Harris: woodland and whimsy is a full-time job!

You may already be familiar with Melbourne artist Fleur Harris via her stunning ‘Woodlands’ wallpaper available through Jimmy Cricket. In it, a whimsical menagerie of forest animals (deer, foxes, racoons, squirrels, owls and bunnies) all peer out from behind lush foliage in the design that is now hanging in hundreds of homes across the globe. “Those artworks have very intricate pattern repeats and they took a long time to make so it’s wonderful to see them putting smiles on children’s faces everywhere from America to Russia, Poland and the UK,” says Fleur.

Working with oil paints and digital software to create her artworks, Fleur’s subject matter centres largely around nature – especially flowers, foliage and animals. “My artworks are often highly detailed; I spend a huge amount of time on them. I always put a lot of time into each artwork, I come back to them to perfect them, I don’t let them go out into the world until they are just right. Each artwork is a true labour of love,” says Fleur.

And with gorgeous colour palettes another notable feature of the artist’s work, it doesn’t surprise me that a lot of work goes into their selection. “Colour plays a large role. I spend a lot of time refining my colour palettes and it’s a crucial detail,” says Fleur.

While formally trained in fine arts, interior design and illustration, Fleur isn’t that keen to define herself as one thing or another – she describes herself as an artist, product designer and creative thinker. “My work doesn’t fit neatly into one little box or category. I’ve worked with brands to create all sorts of wonderful things; wallpapers, children’s bedding, dinnerware – it’s a long list,” says Fleur who welcomed her son a couple of years ago and juggles her work commitments around him.

Perhaps one of her most high-profile collaborations, Fleur started working with Adairs last year – her first children’s range was a sell out and her fourth range has just been released in Australia and New Zealand. Titled ‘Springtime,’ it’s as fresh and pretty as its name suggests. “I adore this time of year, when nature awakens and begins to buzz with life,” says Fleur. The collection includes a quilt cover and sheet set (in sizes from cot to king), as well as wall art, a play tent and special separate unicorn themed pillowcase. The violet and green combination is glorious.

“Kids’ bedrooms can be a sanctuary, a safe space of their own where they sleep and play and dream. These collections are forming a backdrop to the childhood memories they’re creating. I’m very mindful of this when designing these ranges,” says Fleur.

Collaborations aside, Fleur has also been very busy working on a series of oil paintings and illustrations, all of which are available as ready-to-hang framed prints on canvas. “I’ve been asked many times over if I will ever sell prints of my paintings so it’s great to be able to offer my artworks in that format now,” says Fleur.

A series of still life images, the works feature flowers and foliage on dark backgrounds and Fleur is particularly excited about the range of sizes they are available in. “I worked with an incredible photographer in Melbourne to digitally capture all my paintings, so I could reproduce them in a range of sizes, some much bigger than the original. I love big statement artworks, so it was important to me to offer them in larger sizes.”

Artist profile: Farmer Kate Owen inspired by drought

Based in northern New South Wales, self-taught artist and farmer Kate Owen didn’t have to look far for inspiration when working on her latest collection Rose Coloured Glasses. “As farmers, when we look at our surroundings at the moment, it is easy to have a heavy heart because of the extreme drought situation. But by looking through rose-coloured glasses we interpret what we see into visions of lush colour, growth and prosperity in our mind’s eye,” says Kate.

And it’s this glass half full approach that has resulted in a gorgeous series of colourful abstract works that are available to purchase through online art purveyor The Interiors Assembly. “I think a lot of my work is a form of positive manifestation of what I would like to see,” adds Kate.

Kate's work 'Daisy'
‘Daisy’

While interested in art as a child, Kate has no formal art training beyond the occasional workshop (where she experimented with oils, acrylics and clay sculpture) but has found her formal fashion training to be integral to her work. “The work I have done in fashion and homewares has definitely had an influence on the type of work I like to produce and also the colours I favour,” says Kate who has been painting full-time for the last two and a half years, since her youngest child left home for boarding school.

“With the kids having gone away it has freed up my time enough to devote myself to a regular practice. It’s been a huge relief to finally be able to paint all the time instead of storing away the ideas and impulses in my head,” says Kate who has a keen interest in colour and loves to experiment with different combinations, working mainly with acrylic paint.

'The Beehive'

“I like working with acrylics because they dry quickly which allows me to capture spontaneous gestural marks and not have too much time to think about what I’m doing,” says Kate. Although most of her work is done on canvas she uses paper to collage at times as well as graphic sticks and oil pastels. As a final touch, Kate will often scratch back through her finished works to reveal layers of paint underneath.

And though it’s been a tough time of late, the artist’s daily view (beautiful, undulating farm country) provides constant inspiration – as does her time spent on the road. “I’m constantly on the lookout for inspiration when driving and make frequent stops on my trips, to capture those moments. At the moment I have a particular affinity with the cactus, and you’ll see those organic shapes appear abstractly in my work often. To me the cactus represents resilience which is a value I hold in high esteem.”

Artist profile: Kate Mayes’ bright botanical works

Kate Mayes art work

“My work is a collaboration between figurative and abstract botanical foliage and the use of shapes, lines and colours. I have no plans when I begin to paint, I just start – usually with a leaf and it’s finished when it’s finished. I don’t overthink it – the canvas speaks to me and tells me when it’s time for tools down,” says artist Kate Mayes.

Kate Mayes art work

“I live in Torquay and I am lucky enough to have a beautiful home studio that my husband purpose built for me. The juggle between being a mum and painter is real and I often find my biggest creative block of time comes whilst everyone is sleeping so it was important to me have a studio at home. That way I can easily put my paint brush down and float into bed without much thought,” says Kate who is renowned for her botanical inspired creations and deep sea green palettes.

As is often the case with artists, Kate is drawn to the pure creativity and relative naivety that children can bring to the artistic table. “My inspiration comes from everything around me. My two girls inspire me, we draw together daily, and I learn from their fluidity and the freedom they have when creating. I will often draw on these experiences when I am feeling stuck or if I am trying to make a painting too ‘perfect’ I will remind myself what they would do. A mind of creativity that has not yet been touched by the outside world,” says Kate.

Kate Mayes art work

Self-taught, Kate’s interest in painting began at a very young age. “I grew up in a small town and about ten doors down lived the artist Leonard French whose stained glass ceiling in the National Gallery of Victoria’s great hall is the largest piece of stained glass in the world. In grade two, I was lucky enough to interview Mr French for my class project and we sat in his studio and had morning tea. He was an incredible artist and I was so inspired. I knew from a young age that art and creativity were my strengths and what I wanted to pursue,” says Kate.

Kate works mainly with acrylics after struggling to find the patience for oils. “I always imagined using oil paints but unfortunately I learned quite quickly that there is not a patient bone in my body. I now use acrylic paints and I love them,” says Kate who adapts them to achieve oil-like results. “I have found ways to implement the qualities I love of oil paints into my acrylics, using heavy bodied paints and richly coloured washes, and I can achieve the results I want,” says Kate.

When creating her latest collection, Kate was solely focussed on freedom of expression. “This collection was all about letting go, painting what I wanted to paint and experimenting with colour palettes. I gave myself the freedom to paint over parts that I had worked so hard at making look realistic. To almost gamble with my creativity was fun and I am really pleased with my final pieces,” says Kate.

How to paint a ceiling like a pro

By Naomi Findlay

When deciding to renovate or refresh a room, the first points of focus tend to be the walls, the floors, the doors and even the tiles. The ceiling is an important element that is often overlooked until everything else has been updated. This ‘fifth wall’ needs to complement the rest of the space, otherwise it can completely change the look and feel of your room.

Prepare and protect
Painting a ceiling isn’t too different to painting any other wall in your home. A professional-looking DIY job will depend on the careful preparation you do beforehand. Since most light fixtures are located on the ceiling, even the smallest of bumps can attract attention. Take a look at the previous guide on preparing a room for tips on patching up existing damage.

Remove any furniture or fixtures that can be removed, and cover the rest – lights, ceiling fans and cornices, for example – with drop sheets, rags, and painters tape.

Consider and calculate
Before you rush off to buy the first tin of white ceiling paint you find, give it some good thought. Your ceiling doesn’t need to be white. Consider what colours and textures would complement the rest of the room; an exposed concrete look or a bold pop of colour could be the antidote to a boring and dated design.

Once you have decided on colour, you will need to calculate how much paint you will actually need. Taubmans have a very handy online calculator that will take the guesswork and calculations out of the equation – leaving you with the perfect amount of paint.

Paint
If you are dealing with brand new plasterboard, be sure you seal it before applying your coats of paint. Otherwise, give your paint tin a good stir, and get ready to paint!

It will take about half an hour to paint an average-sized ceiling – give yourself enough time to coat the whole surface without rushing. Starting with the cornices, use an angled paintbrush to apply the paint along the edge of your ceiling. Once you have coated around 10 centimetres of the edges with paint, use a roller and roller tray to coat the rest of the ceiling.

After coating the roller in a small amount of paint, tap each side thoroughly to get rid of any extra paint. Ceilings are a little trickier to paint as, unlike walls, they are located above you. This means painting can get tiring and messy very quickly – hence why it is super important to ensure your roller isn’t going to drip every time you dip it into the paint tray.

Attaching the roller to a pole will help you easily reach the ceiling. Apply the paint in small sections in a ‘W’ or ‘M’ motion, keeping the roller flat against the surface at all times. When you are halfway through, go over the already painted area with a very light coat of paint – this will help create a smooth finish and remove any dripping paint.

Allow the first coat to dry for a full two hours before starting on the second coat.

Tradie prices drop in NSW but increase around the country

Building, construction and carpentry prices across NSW plummeted last quarter signalling an early indication the housing market may have finally peaked.

Image courtesy of Tradie Point
Image courtesy of Tradie Point

The cost to hire a carpenter decreased by 8.7 percent compared to the previous quarter, with building and construction prices also down 5.6 percent.

“We believe the result suggests an impending downturn in the property market. Fewer property owners and investors are undertaking renovations so consumer confidence might not be as strong as it was last year,” says ServiceSeeking.com.au CEO Jeremy Levitt.

“Investors only renovate for a positive return on investment and if that potential is not there they won’t renovate. Our data shows a relative oversupply of tradespeople to current levels of demand resulting in downward pressure on tradie prices.”

The Victorian renovation sector has started the new financial year strongly with tradie prices up 2.4 percent year-on-year.

All trades in Queensland, with the exemption of electricians, recorded big revenue hikes in the past year according to new statistics. Building and construction services were the biggest winners with a monumental 20.3 percent increase in prices year-on-year and an incredible 14 percent quarterly rise. The average price now sits at $69.73 in the sector, taking it to 10 percent above the national average.

The soft housing market in WA has had a flow-on effect with a 25 percent downturn in building and construction costs. Reporting a massive year-on-year fall to $59.27 per hour, building and construction tradies are feeling the pinch. Their prices fell 7.9 percent in the last quarter alone according to data released today by jobs website ServiceSeeking.com.au.

The average cost to hire a tradie across Australia is $59.56 per hour, up 1.6 percent year-on-year and 0.7 percent on the last quarter.

The prices were derived by comparing a sample of 52,000 quotes submitted during the FY17 Q1 through ServiceSeeking.com.au, the website for getting any job done from tradies to professional services.

How to check your tradie’s credentials before hiring them

Image source: Jet Force Plumbing Services

If you’re looking to hire a tradesman, whether it be a plumber, electrician or just a handyman to repair something broken, it’s important that you choose carefully.

The best tradie for the job will be appropriately qualified, licensed, professional and have a reputation for producing great work. Being discerning in your choice will help you get work done on time, well and at a good price.

Image source: Jet Force Plumbing Services
Image source: Jet Force Plumbing Services

To help you hire the right tradie for the job, you need to ask the right questions. Here are four key factors to consider.

Are they legitimate?

An ABN or Australian Business Number is issued by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and helps businesses to identify one another. While it’s not mandatory for a tradie to have an ABN, it makes it easy for anyone to verify their business. The ATO database will enable you to see when the business was registered and whether that registration is still valid.

Are they licensed?

Most tradesmen in the building sector require a license to perform work in your customer’s home and have to hold a qualification to be awarded the license in the first place.

Trade licences are not as black and white as they might seem though, so be careful. Licensing of trades is done on a state-by-state basis, with each state having slightly different requirements. Some licences for builders, plumbers, electricians and gas fitters are licensed nationwide. Other tradesmen such as painters, are not required to hold a licence in every state.

To navigate through the confusion, searching online will quickly tell you whether your potential electrician/carpenter/tiler/landscaper needs a licence where you live. To check if theirs is valid you can look online or simply just ask to see it with your own eyes. If they push back on providing documentation then your alarm bells should really be ringing.

Are they covered?

It’s absolutely vital that the tradie you choose is covered by the correct insurance policy. Public liability insurance is compulsory and will protect you against third party injuries and property damage caused by the contractor. Without public liability insurance, they may not be able to pay for the damage, replacement or repair.

So it’s of the utmost importance that you check their insurance is current and valid, before allowing them to commence work in your home.

What’s the word on the street?

One of the best ways so check a tradie’s reputation, workmanship and professionalism, is to see what their past clients have said about them. Search their business online and look for testimonials or online recommendations. This will give you an idea of how they operate, and if you notice an alarming number of negative reviews, it would be best advised to steer clear!

Carefully considering all of these factors and asking the right questions upfront can ensure that you choose the right tradie for your home improvement needs, while avoiding any possible disappointment or disputes.

How much does painting a house cost?

In need of a face lift, or should I say could your home do with a refresh? Glad I clarified that! Everyone will tell you that the easiest way to reboot your home is to add a lick of paint, indoors or out. And they would be right. But should you DIY or get a pro in and how much will it cost?

SV Constructions

To DIY or not…

While many of us are happy to DIY, the reality is time and expertise are two commodities in short supply. You also might think that there is not much to painting, how hard can it be? Truth be told a lot of the work happens before any brushes, rollers or cans of paint make an appearance. Any experienced painter will tell you that surface preparation (cleaning, sanding and filling in holes and gaps) is as important as using quality paints, equipment and the right technique. So think twice before you head to the hardware store.

How much will my painting job cost?

So assuming you decided to get a pro in, the first question on most people’s minds is how much is this going to cost me?

You should really be looking for a painter to visit your home and give you a written quote for the entire job. Painters will typically quote a flat fee which includes materials and labour. They are also able to quote for smaller jobs, for example a single room. Some painters may even give you a ‘per square metre’ or hourly rate. Expect to pay anywhere between $18 to $20 per square metre depending on where you live. In terms of an hourly rate, painters charge in the region of $40 per hour, but this can vary significantly.

These rates are all well and good, but beware of being lured by ‘too good to be true’ figures. The bottom line on cost is that you should consider a range of factors when hiring a painter, not just price. That means screening them to get an idea if they are right for your job.

Paron Developments

Ask your painter the right questions

Hiring the right painter for your job isn’t hard if you know what questions to ask:

  • How long have you been in business?
  • What does your quote include?
  • Do you have insurance cover?
  • Are you licensed (if this is required where you live)?
  • Can you provide me with references/client recommendations?
  • What paints do you use?
  • How many people will work on my job?
  • How long will you take?

Painting your interiors

Points to consider when painting your interiors include the type of paint. Gloss, low sheen or matt each have a unique finish, so decide what look you are after. There are also easy clean paints, marketed as ‘mark resistant’ by manufacturers, which you should be aware of. Timber elements such as doors, windows, their frames and skirting boards will typically require a gloss or semi-gloss enamel paint or wood stain. These are available in oil or water-based versions, with the latter offering the benefit of drying quicker and having less odour. Painters also often double up as decorators, so are able to take care of any special finishes or effects, such as wallpapering, that you require.

Wallpaper Antics

Painting your exterior

In terms of your exteriors, these surfaces may require more remedial work such as patching and filling in. This is particularly true of any timber elements. Also bear in mind that a multi-storey home is likely going to require scaffolding. Painters will factor the cost of all this into your quote.

Don’t forget to get a range of quotes, say three or four, to be in a position to judge what you are willing to pay. Remember, don’t always be swayed by the lowest price…
