16 single and double sided “naming” banners have been commissioned by unions, plus 15 'issue' banners for Newcastle Trades Hall Council’s Mayday.
These have been highly acclaimed and put Birgitte in the forefront of banner painters. They have been in many publications and exhibited widely in Australia and overseas.
Birgitte is keen to work further with unions - doing banners, murals, labour history and site specific artwork.
The success of her banners has been acknowledged all over Australia, Britain and Canada and they have been reproduced in publications.
The highlights include an exhibition in Scotland, celebrating banners of the world. In Australia the reward was to have the Building Trades Group banner reproduced in the highly respected publication -
'Australian Painting 1788 - 1990' by Bernard Smith with Terry Smith
Oxford University Press, 1990 (pages 484,485).
