Guest Curator Holly Goodman
Hello and welcome to our last Guest Curation for 2023! Today we have collaborated with regional powerhouse Holly Goodman, Founder of Peter Bill fashion label.
A mother of three with a passion for the land, Holly is an entrepreneur and rural and regional advocate. Born and raised on beef cattle properties, Holly knew she would continue with a country lifestyle. She wants her own children to grow up in the space that she did.
In 2021 Holly started her own clothing label Peter Bill. One for little boys after having two boys herself. This expanded into girl’s and women's pieces. With a love for detail, art and fashion, her aim is to create clothing that is unique yet comfortable. In 2023 she worked on an artist collaboration incorporating exclusive prints to linen pieces. This is something she loves seeing come to life and is interested in connecting with artists in the future. The power of art and fashion is incredible, and it's really something special.

Holly’s Artwork Collection
My curation represents myself, my home, and my work. You’ll notice that I have selected pieces that display pink tones alongside floral patterns. The colour pink for me, brings so much happiness. It brings up memories from my childhood - Sisters. Fairy floss. Love hearts. The colour pink brings with it so much joy. With the addition of Leree Lindsay’s flower piece. Again, flowers are my happiness. The texture and simplicity of colour and tones of these pieces are beautiful, and resemble my style.
Julie Lynch’s artwork is a reflection of Peter Bill. This year in particular, our pieces feature bright colours and lemon prints. Give me pink and blue together any day! Both Brooke Wheelan's and Hilary Rookyard's works take me home, where my life began, by old country sheds and rural landscapes. I absolutely love the colour added to them. For me, it represents a modern take on the country. Personally, I feel this is where I currently am. Starting a rural business, with a modern feel.
