They have that ability to support each other. The groups have trusted the process, came through with joy in their hearts, they\u2019ve learnt about each other, but probably more particularly about themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With young school students, an embryologist, a doctor of fine arts, a performance poet, a professional photographer, an intercultural ambassador, a curator, an indigenous family, and more all part of Sheilas, artist Magdalena Ka\u017amierczak said women like these don\u2019t get enough exposure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are many more women finishing art studies. Then in galleries there is 60 per cent men, and the numbers of how many women are finishing and how many men are showing is completely opposite,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s still that stereotype of artists being drunks, but no one thinks of us as mothers, grandmothers, children, teenagers, and that we\u2019re able to do art and that we can have a voice to say something for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photographer, Rebecca Nicolandos said the inclusive group provides an opportunity for feedback, something not experienced when working on a solo project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re able to meet with different women of different ages. The collaboration is really good in that respect because everyone has to nurture each other, look after each other but also give some feedback, so it can become a seamless, standalone work,\u201d Ms Nicolandos said.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about joining Sheilas contact Lynne Makings via email at <strong>klmakings@hotmail.com<\/strong>.
