Meet Prudence
Hunter Scrubs is passionate about collaborating with local artists to design beautiful, patterned scrub tops. To celebrate International Nurses Day, we are thrilled to partner with the talented Prudence De Marchi.
Prudence is a formidable presence in the art world, continually advancing her craft. With a philosophy centred on creating art that brings joy, her work resonates deeply. As the daughter of a midwife, she intimately understands the healthcare environment.
Prudence earned her double degree in Fine Art and Education from Newcastle University in 2007. While she initially specialized in special education for a decade, the birth of her daughter inspired her to pursue her lifelong passion for art.
Her artistic journey has been marked by remarkable achievements, including solo and joint exhibitions across Australia. Prudence's art has graced Channel Nine's ‘The Block’ and she has collaborated with renowned brands including New Zealand Skin Co. Her textile artworks' inclusion in the 2022 Australian Fashion Week underscored her rising prominence.
Primarily using acrylics on canvas, Prudence draws inspiration from her natural surroundings, architecture, design, music, and fashion. Her signature style, characterized by vibrant florals and bold brush strokes, is beautifully translated into the design of our scrub tops and caps.
Prudence's art is available through private commissions and her website, and her original works can be found at Greenhouse Interiors and Jumbled.
