The collaboration
O’Keeffe, Preston, Cossington Smith: Making Modernism at Heide Museum of Modern Art.

The brief
Third Drawer Down Studio worked collaboratively with Heidi Museum of Modern Art and QAGOMA to create a collection of beautiful homewares and collectable keepsakes to champion key works from Margaret Preston. 

The artist
Recognised and admired for her vibrant and distinctive art, Margaret Preston possessed an equally colourful personality and was described by one associate as ‘the natural enemy of the dull’. After committing to a career as an artist from an early age, Preston completed her academic training in Melbourne and Adelaide before spending two lengthy periods travelling and studying in Europe, during 1904–06 and 1912–19. On her return to Australia, she married William Preston and settled in the harbourside suburb of Mosman, Sydney, which would be her base for much of the rest of her life.
