The Pop-Up Project was established in 2021, when a group of Southern Highlands artists wanted the opportunity to open their studios, share their story, build their brand and connect with new art lovers and collectors all year round.
We currently represent 32 artists – we hope you enjoy meandering through each of their profiles and map out where you would like to visit each June long weekend. Can’t wait? Feel free to contact each artist directly to organise a private appointment. 17 of our artists will open this November as part of the Southern Highlands Art Trail too!
The BOCCA Art Prize is a non-acquisitive art & sculpture prize awarded by Bowral District Children’s Foundation.
All finalists works will be for sales and a minimum of 30% commission donation will go towards caring for our local children’s health and well being.

Unconstrained by conventional expectations, her work is genre-defying, often veering into the world of whimsy. Her preferred medium is oil, her style a blend of figurative, illustrative and a touch of absurdism.
"For me, every painting and every book is a new adventure, started with a thrill of excitement and anticipation."
