Barbara Robertson

Barbara joined the Sunbury Embroidery Gallery in 2009 as Gallery Administrator, managing key operations, public programmes, and exhibitions, retiring in 2023, and remaining involved as a trustee.

She made an early career change from a shipping freight forwarding manager in the 1960s and 70s, to pursue other ambitions, opening an antique shop in the 1970s. A long-term passion and involvement in the arts, past, present, and future, set in motion a decade long role as Fairs organiser at the Landmark Arts Centre, where she played a pivotal role in advancing Art, Craft and Textile fairs as a key feature in the yearly calendar of events.

Barbara is marries with three grown up daughters, and enjoys an active lifestyle, including pilates, theatre, ballet, and antiques. She continues to foster connections and attend art events nationwide.
