The World on the Inside by Therese Shanley

Experience the beauty and simplicity of day-to-day life in this exhibition of works by Sulman Prize finalist Therese Shanley.  In this collection of oil paintings and dry point etchings, Therese explores the people, places and things which surround and inspire her. 

These deeply representative works provide a window into Therese’s world, which focuses on home, family, comfort and beauty. The artist’s self-reflective style presents a narrative of comfort, joy and inspiration found in every-day objects, whether in a crocheted blanket representing protection, or a vase of chrysanthemums representing her mother. With bold colours and Shanley’s distinctive style, this exhibition invites you to find the beauty and symbolism of the objects in your own life.
