What does it mean to be truly in your element?
To be comfortable in your own skin. To understand your strength, embrace your individuality and occupy your place in the world with confidence.
In Her Element, the latest group exhibition at Red Hill Gallery, brings together four accomplished Australian artists: Glenda Borchard, Stacey Conridge, Julie Hutchings and Emma Sheldrake - each offering a distinctive interpretation of women, identity and self-expression.
Across the exhibition, portraiture and figurative works become a means of storytelling. Moments of confidence sit alongside vulnerability, elegance alongside humour, and quiet reflection alongside bold expressions of personality and freedom.
Four Artists, Four Perspectives
Glenda Borchard captures timeless femininity through elegant, sun-drenched figures that evoke leisure, confidence and a sense of nostalgic glamour.
Stacey Conridge explores individuality and resilience through expressive portraiture, symbolism and richly layered narratives.
Julie Hutchings creates thoughtful figurative works that reflect connection, identity and the quiet strength of the feminine experience.
Emma Sheldrake brings colour, confidence and character to bold compositions that celebrate individuality, self-expression and the freedom to be entirely oneself.
Celebrating Individuality
While each artist approaches the figure differently, together their works create a compelling conversation.
There is no single definition of femininity within In Her Element.
Instead, the exhibition celebrates women in all their complexity—strong and vulnerable, elegant and unconventional, reflective and fearless.
These are women occupying their own space.
Women connected to their stories.
Women embracing individuality, confidence and freedom.
Rich in colour, character and imagination, In Her Element invites viewers to discover four distinctive artistic voices and perhaps recognise something of themselves within the works.
We invite you to experience the exhibition at Red Hill Gallery and discover the complete collection of works by Glenda Borchard, Stacey Conridge, Julie Hutchings and Emma Sheldrake.
