Barbara Weir

Barbara Weir was a well-documented artist featured in numerous publications and in 2004 was chosen by the Australian Tourist Commission to appear in an advertisement titled ‘Barbara Weir’s Australia”.

Barbara’s dreaming stories include ‘My Mothers Country’, ‘Awelye’ and her famous ‘Grass Seed’ dreaming. Barbara’s paintings have been exhibited extensively throughout Australia and the world, including Japan, America and Europe.

Barbara was a versatile and passionate artist whose love for the country is reflected in each canvas she painted. She was highly skilled in the use of dot work shown in her depictions of ‘My Mothers Country’ and was ingenious in her use of lines and texture as shown in ‘Grass Seed’ dreaming’s.

Barbara travelled extensively with her exhibitions throughout Australia, America, Japan and Europe and was recognised as one of the art world's most collectable artists.

Barbara lived in Alice Springs with her daughter and Grandchildren, and sadly passed away in 2021.
