Hi everyone! <3
My pop-up opens this Thursday 16th May at 28 Johnston Street, Fitzroy VIC.
This is my first pop-up in Melbourne and I cannot wait to meet the beautiful people who have supported me and my work since I launched in 2020.
I’ve typically been pretty quiet in the lead up with so many things to organise (window decals always seem to break me, lol) but I promise I have been working away to make this pop-up as full and spirited as possible for you.
You know when a child wants to show you absolutely everything in their room and tell you a story about each thing?— prepare yourselves, I have four years worth of things.
I’ve popped some details below for you, but if you have a question please feel welcome to email me! x

THE FITZROY POP-UP EXPERIENCE
------------
Opening hours:
Monday - Friday: 10am - 6pm
Saturday: 9am - 4pm
Sunday: 9am - 3pm
What will the pop-up be like?
It will be really, really fun <3
The closer I get to the opening, the more excited I become for the ‘everything’ nature of this pop-up. While initially intending on displaying a select few pieces, I’ve swiftly turned in the complete opposite direction. By ‘everything’ I mean I’m bringing together almost everything I possibly can to show you. Once I leant toward ‘more is more’, a circus of new originals, old originals, un-stretched originals, and more fresh prints than I’ve ever laid my eyes on came into the mix.
It also feels like the mini-end of an era… </3
I’m particularly eager to savour this experience, where I can bring this range and variety of pieces together in one highly-spirited amalgamation of four years of work. I have some large projects and commissions rounding out the next few months and as I develop as an artist, pop-up events like this become slightly too big to achieve on my own while I’m fulfilling other client obligations. Similarly, a large portion of my pop-up abilities over the last year has stemmed from having a large body of work available, which thankfully I’ve seen lessen drastically by my incredible collectors.
I’m not going anywhere of course!— but I feel everything changing so quickly and would love for you to savour this slightly chaotic offering in Fitzroy with me in case its our last for a while <3
Will there be an opening event?
No. If you’re worried you missed out on an opening invitation, don’t worry— we all did! x
Opening events are wonderfully fun, but wonderfully overwhelming at the same time and I always feel worried afterward that I didn’t get to speak to you as much as I wanted to. So, this pop-event is long and lovely and I’m excited to meet you spaciously with as much time as we’d like.
Which pieces will be featured at the pop-up?
- Originals on Paper (framed and unframed)
- Originals on Stretched Canvas (framed)
- Originals on Un-Stretched Canvas (rolled)
- Giclee Prints on Paper (framed and unframed)
What are the opening hours?
Monday - Friday | 10am - 6pm
Saturday | 9am - 4pm
Sunday | 9am - 3pm
When will the next pop-up be?
For the past three months, this Fitzroy pop-up has entirely taken over my life and mind, and I’m quietly convinced I haven’t even achieved sixty-percent of what I had envisioned. So, with no current plans the next one will be somewhat far in the distance, but I’ll keep you in the loop <3
Will there be any treats?
Yes! I’ve heard that exclusive pricing is one of the best treats when it comes to collecting art <3
There will also be a few exclusive prints available in pop-up-only sizing.
How to purchase?
Whichever method suits you best for which piece you collect— direct transfer; cash; and for the very first time, card payments are available! I bit the bullet and am outrageously excited to enter this stage.
Can I make an appointment to discuss a commission artwork or styling?
Yes, of course!
All of my Melbourne commissions so far have been via email or phone call, so I would relish in the opportunity to speak one-on-one about creating a unique artwork together.
It’s sometimes tricky to visualise how an artwork will feature within your home. Luckily, I spend quite a bit of timing thinking about my pieces and would be very happy to recommend beautiful ways to style them.
To organise an appointment please email hello@bynarjiabrownlie.com with a preferred date and time.
This pop-up will be supporting Juno, as Petals' nominated charity organisation for the second quarter of 2024.

$10 from every print sold along with $100 from every original will be donated to Juno, supporting the women and non-binary people we cannot through art alone.
