Guest Curator Holly Goodman

ello and welcome to our last Guest Curation for 2023! Today we have collaborated with regional powerhouse Holly Goodman, Founder of the Talent Stable and Peter Bill fashion label (she’s a busy girl).

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.[

Guest Curator Emma Rogerslee

Emma is a recipe creator and food photographer. I discovered Emma’s Instagram account The Irishman’s Wife about a year ago and was instantly hooked on her beautiful photography and aesthetic.

In 2020 Emma launched The Irishman's Wife. A cooking and recipe website, that focuses on delicious seasonal comfort food inspired by international, especially European, influences, drawn from her years of living in the UK and marrying an Irishman. Whether it’s a simple Apple and Blackberry Crumble, a Roast Chicken, or a slow-cooked Irish Stew, it's all about cooking good, from scratch, and achievable food to share with others around the kitchen table.

Emma’s recipes will come in super handy, especially around Christmas time, so hop onto her website and check them out.

Guest Curator Lucy Moss

Our Guest Curator this Month is Lucy Moss of Mink and Me fame in Coonamble. Lucy has curated a collection true to her very distinct fun and colourful aesthetic.

Lucy is the owner of Coonamble colour haven Mink and Me. Opened in 2015 due to a desire to be surrounded by a fun, welcoming space, it has evolved to be a community space that incorporates a cafe, yoga studio, hairdresser and beautician in the small North Western NSW town. The boutique business is an eclectic mix of gifts, jewellery, furniture and homewares that are good for your home and your soul. Lucy also runs and operates an airbnb 'Peppertreee House' in a historic homestead in Coonamble as well as currently renovating an old Church into a community space. She lives on her husbands's family farm with her husband Will and sons Digby and Monty.

Guest Curator Kasturi Wren

In 2023, Kasturi launched The Artist Residency program at her home in Coolah, NSW. The residency is open to all artists who want to spend a period of 4-7 days in a rural country town where they will have access to the beautiful Coolah Tops and idyllic surrounds as well as be inspired by country home interiors. The residency shall also provide the artist an opportunity to be open to a new audience through a collaborative process of social media promotion on the Wren & Whippet instagram platform during the residency. At present, there are no residency vacancies open until April 2024. All applications are welcome to be sent via direct message on the Wren & Whippet Instagram account.

Guest Curator Prue Swain

“My curation represents the diversity of places I live, work and play. Some I can imagine hanging at Hive and providing creative inspiration to our professionals, whilst others I can see filling the walls at the Newcastle house and offsetting the salty, costal air. All of them, however, could easily find a home where we live at the farm, where one room at a time I’m turning the old country house into a place full of my favourite things!” - Prue Swain.

Guest Curator Jacqui Hayes

I’m thrilled to have Jacqui Hayes from Barney & Jacq as one of our esteemed Guest Curators and was so excited to see what she chose from our stockroom as her favourites.

"Art has always been an influence over my collections, I love finding inspiration from colour palettes and textures. The pieces I have selected reflect my love of colour and shapes, I was drawn to the works by Jackie Anderson for the energy they create, an artist who I really admire." - Jacqui Hayes.
