This month our inspiration comes to you from Barbara Hanrahan with Butterfly Catcher.
Barbara Janice Hanrahan (1939-91) was an Australian artist, printmaker and writer whose work featured relationships, women, women's issues and feminist ideology. Both her art and her writing are highly individual and personalised. Her best-known prints are those on the covers of her novels – romantic floating girls in sprigged dresses and flowing hair – and she found endless material in Adelaide and what she called the ‘weirdness of suburbia’. Hanrahan’s private face, revealed with the publication of her diaries in 1998, came as a surprise to many. Hanrahan was also known for her writings and short stories featuring coming of age stories that were somewhat biographical.
And now some inspiration from our team ...
