Summary
The focus of the collection is South Australian and West Australian women artists from the 1850s to the present day which are housed in a 110-year old heritage home in Subiaco. Fairview was built in the Queen Anne Federation style for Scottish Ice Engineer John Kennedy and his wife Christina in 1915 and is classified by the National Trust as a place of cultural significance because of the unique ornate front veranda. Designed by Kennedy when he was at the peak of his career running the Perth Ice Works, snowflake timber corner brackets represent his profession whilst flying angels, often found on the front of Scottish sailing ships in the 1880s to protect passengers during their dangerous voyages to Australia, were incorporated by Kennedy to watch over his family. Notable artists in the collection include Marie Tuck (1866-1947), Jessamine Buxton (1895-1966), Mary M. Wigg (1904-2001), Nancy Sayer (1909-2005), Mavis Lightly (1911-1988), Dr Joan Janet Bayliss (1925-2003), Priscilla Blight (1926-1990), Joy Tomcala, Genevieve Berry, Aurelie Yeo, May Courtney O'Neill, Christine Davis, Deborah Zibah and Lene Makwana.A podcast Hidden Talent: Untold Stories of the Fairview Art Collection is available at www.fairviewofsubiaco.com.au
