Guest Curator Kasturi Wren

In 2023, Kasturi launched The Artist Residency program at her home in Coolah, NSW. The residency is open to all artists who want to spend a period of 4-7 days in a rural country town where they will have access to the beautiful Coolah Tops and idyllic surrounds as well as be inspired by country home interiors. The residency shall also provide the artist an opportunity to be open to a new audience through a collaborative process of social media promotion on the Wren & Whippet instagram platform during the residency. At present, there are no residency vacancies open until April 2024. All applications are welcome to be sent via direct message on the Wren & Whippet Instagram account.

Guest Curator Prue Swain

“My curation represents the diversity of places I live, work and play. Some I can imagine hanging at Hive and providing creative inspiration to our professionals, whilst others I can see filling the walls at the Newcastle house and offsetting the salty, costal air. All of them, however, could easily find a home where we live at the farm, where one room at a time I’m turning the old country house into a place full of my favourite things!” - Prue Swain.

Guest Curator Jacqui Hayes

I’m thrilled to have Jacqui Hayes from Barney & Jacq as one of our esteemed Guest Curators and was so excited to see what she chose from our stockroom as her favourites.

"Art has always been an influence over my collections, I love finding inspiration from colour palettes and textures. The pieces I have selected reflect my love of colour and shapes, I was drawn to the works by Jackie Anderson for the energy they create, an artist who I really admire." - Jacqui Hayes.

Guest Curator Fiona Schofield

“I found it hard to choose just a few pieces for this exercise, but I am always drawn to works that have interesting line, texture and colour. I particularly like earthy colours, though Mary Donnelly’s interesting pastel colours always draw my eye. I adore abstract work and have especially loved having this big work by Raphe Coombes right near my desk in the gallery for the last two weeks.” - Fiona Schofield.
