Five women who began their fine art studies together have reunited to stage their first independent exhibition. The women all commenced the Advanced Diploma of Fine Arts at Riverina TAFE Institute at the same time and three have continued their studies towards the new fine arts degree offered jointly by Charles Sturt University (CSU) and Riverina TAFE Institute. The artists are Kylie Graham, Michelle Grant, Lynn Kaczmarek, Danusia Machalak and Karen Cowled. “Because our work is so diverse, we decided to simply name the exhibition 5 Women,” Michelle Grant said. The works range from abstracts to portraits and from prints to mixed media. The exhibition will be staged in the HR Gallop Gallery on CSU’s Wagga Wagga Campus until Friday 22 December from 9am to 4.30pm. The public is welcome and entry is free.
