Welcome to our fifth newsletter. In this edition we celebrate the launch of a new exhibition, Amazing Women Artists.

This exhibition celebrates the unique contribution of eleven leading Aboriginal women artists, many who are first generation artists, to the Aboriginal Art movement. Collectively, these works reflect the strength and confidence of Aboriginal women. We are thrilled to bring together in one exhibition eleven of the leading Aboriginal women artists from the Central and Western desert regions Kiwirrkurra, Yuendumu and Utopia.

The works in this exhibition are unique because they represent many first generation desert women painters who have a deep spiritual connection and knowledge of their tribal land and is reflected in their work. Many of these artists are now in their senior years and these works are highly collectable.

These amazing women have each an individual style with its free flowing forms, boldness in design and brilliant use of colour. The artists represented in our online exhibition have internationally acclaim and are exhibited widely. The online exhibition runs from Monday February 18 until March 14 2008. For more information read our feature article below or visit the Amazing Women Artists exhibition.

In other news our Abie Loy Kemarre Feature continues to attract a large number of visitors and has increased the interest in Abie Loy's works. It is a pleasure to put together such an exciting collection.

In February 2008 we have been very fortunate to be able to offer our users some exciting new artworks from some of our emerging and collectible artists.

are four artists whose works are currently featured on our extensive Aboriginal Art gallery.

We hope you enjoy the Amazing Women Artists exhibition. It is a truly remarkable collection of works that shows the strength and power of Aboriginal women.
