“Inside Out” is an extraordinary art exhibition by three Geelong based (Australian women artists); it is guaranteed to pack a wallop and evoke emotions.

Their painted artworks which range from abstracts through to figurative pieces could be described as iconoclastic…They challenge or overturn traditional established dogma or conventions. “Inside Out” is concerned with the complex interaction between what is real and what exists only in our imagination.

Their work has a strong connection to Geelong and its people, all the people portrayed in their works are Geelong locals, and Elizabeth’s work is inspired by rich colors that abound from her home at Corio Bay.

Janne Kearney describes herself as a painter of stories, people and life… her recent body of work features tattooed people. Be assured it is not just paintings of tattooed bodies, its more than that, it chronicles tattooed peoples’ lives and asks the viewer to disregard preconceived perceptions of people, society and at times reality. Oil on canvas with gold, silver, metal leaf and a range of metallic paints often feature in her work.
