Emerging artists

Barney, 8
Sydney

Mia Holton, Perth



Wandering through Finders Keepers Market in Sydney I came across 8year old Barney standing alone behind a stall. Big smile, confident and engaging. Not only was the card I fell in love with illustrated by him, but the business of creating and selling cards was his also! I have a suspicion we are going to see more of Barney as BIG grows and we begin to gather our young editorial team. Barney's 'bird match' above is by Mia Holton, a multi-media artist of exceptional talent.
All flight to these two emerging, original and inspired ways of seeing the world!

  3. Wonderful concept to engage artists with young people and open up the opportunity for creative response. There is a whole world of interpretation from just one image or story or idea.

    I love those feathers on Barney's bird.
