Becoming Now | Barbara Dawson ()

Barbara's work explores themes of endurance, presence and emotional resonance, using botanical forms to reflect lived experience.

Working across charcoal drawing, stitched textiles and photographic silk pieces, Barbara examines the tension between strength and vulnerability, interrupting and reinforcing surfaces and creating tactile works that carry weight and accumulation.

📌 See the exhibition in person until 5 July 2026

✨️Maker Spotlight: Jo Hollier

For the past 19 years, Jo Hollier () has been a full-time, practicing artist and printmaker based in Canberra, with a studio located at the edge of the city. Drawing is the basis of Hollier’s art making; ideas for prints are born from her original sketches, which feature a range of nature, plant and birdlife motifs. Jo’s drawings evolve from pencil and paper to acid and zinc or some other print medium.

In our shop, you’ll find Jo’s work carefully printed on calendars and cards, ready to gift with your special message alongside another piece, or even just on its own!

🔗Shop Jo’s work online at: shop.belcoarts.com.au/collections/jo-hollier

Or drop by our Shop in person, Tuesday to Sunday, 10am-4pm and add a beautiful nature print or card to your collection. 🛍️
