Throughout history women artists and women's views have often taken 2nd place. This exhibition explores

women's stories and the feminine. Shining a light on women artists and how they see their world through their art practices.

This artwork is one of a series I created during the Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020 to 2022. Women shouldered burdens of working from home, home schooling and organising everyone’s schedules.
