Three Women in the Company of Morris


As a longtime devotee of the Pre-Raphaelites and their contemporaries, I’m eagerly anticipating the forthcoming exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ballarat, Pre-Raphaelites: Drawings and Watercolours from The Ashmolean Museumwhich runs from May 20 - August 6.


My painting Three Women, 2021, will hang at the AGB in the accompanying exhibition, In the Company of Morrisalongside works by historical and contemporary artists who have drawn inspiration from the Pre-Raphaelites, and in particular, William Morris


It was a very pleasant surprise to discover Three Women, which pays homage to his daughter, May Morris, reproduced in the article linked below.
