From the organiser

A series of framed composite digital works by Brenda Runnegar representing pets and favourite animals as majestic figures in historical paintings.

These anthropomorphic images are derived from photographs which Runnegar has taken of pets and animals, which she has endeavoured to match with appropriate historical early American Folk Painting.

As a Multimedia artist Brenda Runnegar specialises in painting, sculpture, photography and textiles. Her forty-odd year-long practice is characterised by the use of the surreal and dreamlike.

She completed a Master of Fine Arts by research in 2007 and has worked professionally as an Educator, Arts Administrator, Gallery Manager and Project Manager in the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors. Since 1981 she has exhibited in numerous prestigious group exhibitions and has had eighteen solo exhibitions.

Her most recent work has involved experiments with digital imaging.

Spies and Secrets in the Capital: Women in Espionage Walking Tour

Canberra

Not many people think “espionage” when they imagine a visit to Canberra. We’re here to change that. Canberra has a fascinating and unique history of spies, intrigue and covert operations hidden behind its iconic landmarks. Join us for a walk through Canberra’s National Triangle and go beyond the guidebooks. We start at the Hyatt Hotel before heading to Albert Hall, visiting a hidden underground bunker at West Block, an ex-ASIO office and Old Parliament House, before finishing right back where we started. Come for a relaxed, easy walk, deepen your understanding of Canberra’s hidden history of women in espionage, and meet the unlikely candidate for Australia’s best spy. This is a tour that will stay with you long after the walk ends. Don’t be surprised if you leave wondering if your Mum was once a spy...
