With her wearable Paper Art outfit "Florale", Fides Linien was awarded the endowed Tasmanian Hearing and Implant Centre, Dr. Kellie Walker's Encouragement Award for recognition of talent and to encourage pursuit of the artform.
First held in 2012, Paper on Skin is a biennial wearable art award. The award is open to international artists who embrace the challenge of designing a wearable garment made from at least 80% paper. Paper on Skin connects Tasmania’s papermaking heritage to a community of Paper Art lovers from throughout Australia. In an immersive theatrical experience, the works will be brought to life on the catwalk by local models and performers.
The exhibition will showcase the garments presented on the gala event held on Saturday 21 September 2024.

Fides Linien
A Fine Artist with a Master Class degree from the Dresden University of Fine Arts, Fides is specialized in hand papermaking and hand screenprint. She uses these mediums to create one-of-a-kind artworks.
The handmade papers created by her, which she terms ‘CartaStaminea’, are unique works of art from different types of self-made papers and yarn inlays.
​
Trained by the premium fashion brand Escada, Fides is also a visual merchandiser and a marketing expert with more than ten years’ experience working for global premium and high-end fashion labels.
​
In 2018, Fides founded the ‘Fancy Pads' initiative in Uganda and continues to coordinate the same. This women empowerment project emanated from an educational papermaking and self–help project. It was initiated as a Corporate Social Responsibility project by The Xsabo Foundation and the artist. Fides invented disposable, biodegradable sanitary pads to enable school girls to stop missing school during their menstrual period.

Fides is a Director of The Xsabo Foundation and President of the International Association of Hand Papermakers and Paper Artists (IAPMA) e.V. She holds a Certificate in Foundation Management from the renowned ‘German Academy for Foundations’ (‘Deutsche Stiftungsakademie’, DSA).
