Grace and Grace                                                

Loans from the National Gallery of Australia, Sharing the Collection program of two significant Australian female artists,

Grace Crowley and Grace Cossington Smith.

Of particular significance to our region are the pieces created by Grace Crowley, a talented artist from the small town of Barraba, located nearby to Tamworth. Crowley’s early works reflect the beauty and landscapes of rural Australia, with a focus on the natural environment of her home region. Her later works took art in Australia even more strongly towards abstraction from a female perspective.

Additionally, the exhibits of Grace Crowley and Grace Cossington Smith’s works highlight the importance of women artists in the Australian art industry. It is essential to acknowledge the contributions made by female artists in shaping the country’s artistic identity. Crowley and Cossington Smith’s works exhibit a unique perspective on Australian culture, which is significant in understanding the role of women in the nation’s history.

These works of art are on long term loan from the National Gallery of Australia with support from the Australian Government as part of the Sharing the National Collection.
