2023 Barossa Women's Artist Residency  

Recipient 

Very honoured and excited to be selected for the 2023 Barossa Women's Artist Residency. Looking forward to immersing myself in the beautiful and picturesque Barossa Valley. Getting to know the community and culture of the region whilst exploring the landscape.

"We are excited to announce Victorian artist Belinda Wilson as the recipient of the 2023 Barossa Women's Artist Residency. Belinda Wilson's art practice specialises in expressive painterly artworks using thin layers of oil, gouache and watercolour medium to create unique paintings and drawings. "As a landscape painter, the Barossa Valley and Barossa Range offers inspiration for artistic expression with an array of unique landscapes, including vineyards, rolling hills, and historic buildings to capture on canvas." shared Belinda. This residency will allow Belinda to create new work in November and early December of this year. As part of her residency, Belinda will also participate in a series of public programs within the region. Thank you to our donors for making this inaugural Residency possible"

HIDDEN FACES
The 2023 Victorian Salon des Refusés

A curated selection of portraits by Victorian artists submitted for national portrait prizes and either not hung in the 'official' exhibitions or shown in Melbourne.

I had the opportunity to connect with Geraldine through a mutual friend. I was working on a series of artworks that explored the theme of joy. What better subject than to paint a comedian who shares hilarious anecdotes and observation from everyday life. I saw Geraldine perform at the Sydney Opera House in 2022, during the finale she emerged in a wetsuit surrounded by balloons. This scene was one that I wanted to recreate in a painting, Geraldine grew up in Albury NSW, so I also wanted to give a nod to a regional setting which is why I painted Geraldine in a landscape.

There are 28 artists included in this online exhibition.

'Nest'

Brenda Colahan Fine Art

April 2023


Brenda Colahan Fine Art is pleased to present 'NEST' an exhibition of five bold contemporary artists working across Australia who, by brush, paint, and spirit, have interpreted the sensations and memories of shelter and belonging. In tumultuous times we often return to places of familiar safety. However, it is that same tumult that often prevents us from returning to these sites of comfort and security. Through these stunning works by Margaret Builder, Joanna Cole, Gabrielle Pool, Belinda Wilson, and Claire Yerbury we are offered an alternative, even more personal, refuge.

NEST will be on show at BCFA from 13 April to 26 April, with an opening drinks celebration on Saturday 15 April from 3pm to 6pm. We look forward to seeing you there.

Collaboration with denu

I partnered with Sarah, Director from denu Australia who has created a beautiful room mist containing lavender, eucalyptus and geranium that evokes the calmness of nature. A perfect compliment when you walk into Manyung Gallery for the exhibition 'Land of euphoria'. The exhibition allows you to be immersed in a sensory experience of sight, small and taste. The painting 'lost in lavender' is featured for a limited time on their room mist and beautiful chocolate by Monsieur Truffle.
