A Woman's Worth' - an art exhibition
to celebrate women and mark International Women's Day - 8 March, 2004.

My intention is to utilise my work in a way that creates increased public awareness of both International Women's Day and The Hunger Project (THP) organisation, to help further their purposes through the narrative/story telling within my work.A Woman's Worth' - an art exhibition

My intention is to utilise my work in a way that creates increased public awareness of both International Women's Day and The Hunger Project (THP) organisation, to help further their purposes through the narrative/story telling within my work.The exhibition venue:
Two fashion retail shops at 48 and 51 High St, Auckland central city - debut and modus-operandi - will exhibit the paintings in their windows for two weeks from March 8.

"Women, I believe, search for fellow beings who have faced similar struggles, conveyed them in ways a reader can transform into her own life, confirmed desires the reader had hardly acknowledged - desires that now seem possible. Women catch courage from the women whose lives and writings they read, and women call the bearer of that courage friend." Carol Heilbrun - modern American Scholar

I see my work 'A Woman's Worth' - a series of seven paintings - being exhibited within a very public arena. I belong to two galleries in Parnell, but showing only in gallery spaces can limit the general public's interaction with my art and hence my work will not serve its purpose to its full potential.

Exhibition opening: During the lunch hour, 12-2 pm, on 8th March, 2004, in order to best celebrate International Women's Day. The exhibition will run for two weeks starting from 8th March . Complimentary glasses of New Zealand organic wine from Seresin Estate winery will be served at both shops during the opening.

10% of all proceeds goes to the THE HUNGER PROJECT (THP)
The Hunger Project (THP) organisation is a strategic organization and global movement committed to the sustainable end of world hunger. They believe that "One of the greatest obstacles to ending hunger is the severe subjugation, marginalization and disempowerment of women in many developing countries. Society holds women responsible for all the key actions required to end hunger: family nutrition, health, education, food production and - increasingly - family income. Yet through laws, customs and traditions, women are systematically denied the resources, information and freedom of action they need to carry out their responsibilities."
