We are saddened to have lost one of Western Australia’s premier artists, Carol Rudyard who passed away in May this year, aged 99.
Carol was a role model for a generation of Australian women artists. A Western Australian State Living Treasure and the only Western Australian artist to receive the prestigious Keating Fellowship, Carol was at the forefront of painting, audio-visual, installation and digital art, holding a singular place as one of the country’s leading visual innovators. We are privileged to represent Rudyard’s work across photography and painting in The Wesfarmers Collection.
