JOSEPHINE Lazidis could barely see until she was five, but she is making up for lost time.

Now 35, she is one of the stars of Beacon, a new exhibition at the Counihan Gallery that showcases works by participants of Artstop, an arts access studio, in Brunswick.

Fifteen members of the studio, which operates out of the Brunswick Uniting Church, have artworks in the exhibition, which opened last Saturday.
