Anna Louise Richardson
The Good
Wagga Wagga Art Gallery Until 23 June 2024
New South Wales
Working primarily in charcoal and graphite, Anna Louise Richardson’s practice is centred around rural life, embedded in the experience and drama of everyday reality and exploring ideas of intergenerational exchange, parenthood and identity.

In a world increasingly defined by division and hardship, Richardson’s work points to the necessary act of radical optimism needed to seek goodness in all things.
