It may take a while but it does happen

It has taken her half a century to achieve her goal to have a solo art exhibition, but Jeanne Musgrave couldn’t be happier.

Her exhibition, titled Unfolding of Grace is at the Pomona Railway Station Gallery until 30 January.

Although this is her first solo exhibition, Jeanne has completed several major commissions.

“Art is about the journey,” says Jeanne, whose work focuses on abstract realism.

While fear of the starving artists’ syndrome held her back, compliments about her work drove her forward and intensified her will.

The part-time nurse recently completed the Milan Art Institute’s Mastery Program to help find her artistic path. She started on that path as a child, helping her mother, then the chief ticket writer at Anthony Hordern’s, a major department store in Sydney, when ticket writing was a master craft.

The volunteer-run gallery is open 10am-4pm Monday to Friday and 10am-2pm Saturday and Sunday.
