Celebrating International Women’s Day 2021, Women of Influence showcases women who have had an influence on or who have positively impacted Artist Emma Finch’s life. A COVID 2020 project focusing on gratitude amongst the turmoil was the beginning point for this series. Some of the portraits are of staff at BHCAC, with the majority of subjects coming from Melbourne.
‘One just never knows what impact another may have had on you, so during isolation I explored this, resulting in a need to create artworks of people who left their mark on my soul, Women of Influence was born’ – Emma Finch.

The Clock Strikes Thirteen’, is an exhibition to celebrate Sustainability Week in the City of Whitehorse. It displays artwork from children at the Cristina Popovici Art School. The students were inspired and passionate about the current environmental crisis we face today and thus their artwork explores what a forest looks like after humanity had run out of time. This thought provoking exhibition by budding artists, which embraces creativity in all forms uses a range of materials including drawings on paper, mixed media on boards and painting on canvas, depicting styles such as impressionism, surrealism, contemporary doodling and automatic drawing. The students were challenged to create artwork that is powerful when standing alone yet works harmoniously together, as one body of work.
