One off Baskets/Sculptures from natural, sustainable materials from my garden. 

 I'm a graphic artist by trade but have always found it restrictive in imagination but with weaving & sculpture one can let their inner creativeness be free.

Over the past year since l attended a weaving workshop I have discovered many different  mediums, textures & recycled materials that inspire me to craft something interesting & unique.

I find myself looking at nature in my surrounds in & around the village of Nelligen in a very different way.

Christina Barnes has been a Paper and Ink artist since 2008, originally in Canberra and now based in Bega. 

Much of her work features colouring in some form, using pencils, pastels, alcohol markers or watercolouring with inks.

I'm an Acrylic Artist that has enjoyed, as mature age student a degree in Fine Art at CSU. 

I've had the privilege of teaching in Wagga, Canberra, Broulee and overseas in England. This was a great experience and a fresh eye for UK landscapes and seascapes of Ireland. 

I've had solo exhibitions in Young, Wagga and Canberra and have executed many commission works over the years 

My service dog -Ruby- is my constant companion and is my assistant at my ‘plein air’ painting sites 

I love the sea as it is my soul resting place and my ocean views inspire me to paint most days.
