Paisley Wines is lucky to have so many talented people help us out!
Elizabeth Fitzgerald - our graphic designer
We are so lucky to have a talented graphic artist in the family, especially when she is happy to be paid in wine!
Elizabeth studied photography and media communications at Mt Lawley Collage of Advanced Education, and has worked in photography and design for over 20 years. Elizabeth says she loves to throw herself into research for her work (thus the photo of me in the winery).
That's right, last vintage we not only paid her (more wine) to do our graphic art design and take pics for us, but she spent five days helping Derek with pump overs during the Easter break!

A.Valliard - DJ Deadly artist
We became friends with Valliard after a friend introduced us and we started to see some crazy and funky images of a DJ mixing the decks early in 2017. A.Valliard is a writer, wine aficionado, and somewhat idle artist, who works predominately using a method called scribbleau. This involves scribbling at considerable speed using a dip pen, various nibs and rather unstable ink, resulting in frenetic, vaguely impressionistic scratchings.
Valliard is currently illustrating their philosophical allegory, and can be found at www.valliard.com or on twitter at @AValliard, where they spend an unconscionable amount of time photo-shopping themselves into Buster Keaton films.
