engagement of the gallery’s women artists in this first time
showcase by gender evincing different psyche, ages and backgrounds
mirrors the coming together a sisterhood. their impressive concepts,
media, and processes, ensuring an exciting awareness of the multiple
roles and extraordinary thoughts that perhaps in some ways are
peculiar to the grit of the female psyche. Each work’s

current reality.
From
the outset, thirty-seven years ago, Kelly was determined that the
artists in her gallery would represent a broad, diverse ethnic and
international spectrum. This exhibit is a statement of having
succeeded in that objective.
