This exhibition draws inspiration from ground-breaking women, such as artist/environmentalist Kathleen McArthur, to present contemporary responses by artists from the Sunshine Coast and beyond. New artworks and designs reimagine and celebrate native wildflowers and women’s connection to place.  

Curated by Dr Sue Davis and Dr Lisa Chandler.  

Artists include: Rose Barrowcliffe, Nai Nai Bird, Renata Buziak, Donna Davis, Joolie Gibbs, Anne Harris, Nicole Jakins, Shelley Pisani, Edith Rewa, Cara Ann Simpson, Marni Stuart, Emma Thorp and local artists from the region.

This project was made possible by funding from the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
