Private collection, Sydney

By the 1960s, Barbara had returned to Australia from London where she made invaluable contacts with local galleries that now cemented her artistic profile back home. It was in 1967 however that an invitation from a Thai friend in Cornwall led her to Bangkok. She visited Thailand on several occasions, discovering a foundry able to cast her works in bronze. Many bronzes Barbara produced in the 1970s were of Malinee, the daughter of friends in Thailand and an ideal model for Barbara.
