Women Painting Women is a major exhibition of portraiture in traditional oil painting and bronze sculpture held Bianually at Burrinja cultural Centre in Victoria.

It presents award winning realist painters. The first exhibition to be held in Australia included Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales – Fiona Bilbrough, Jacqui Grantford, Raelene Sharp, Sally Ryan, Vicki Sullivan, Avril Thomas  and sculptor Heather Ellis.

Taking its inspiration from the Women Painting Women exhibitions in the United States, this was the first Australian instalment of the Women Painting Women phenomenon which celebrates traditional realist painting and the talent of female artists.

South Australian Artist Avril Thomas was very proud to have been selected to be part of this outstanding exhibition and concept.
