Cousins Jenny Boyes & Fiona Boyes are both well-established award winners in their
respective fields, but this collaborative event is a first. Live music, new paintings, prints,
photography, funky Mississippi-style folk art and installations…the girls have gone bush!
Jenny Boyes is a noted fine artist and painter. Well known for her sensitive yet bold
portrayal of the natural environment, her fearless use of colour and eye for detail bring
the natural world to life. Winner of the Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize, her current
showing expresses a diverse engagement with the world around her in its range of
subject matter, medium and technique. From apple trees to dingoes, brilliant parrots
and native orchids, each work is a portrait of the moment.
Fiona Boyes is a distinctive finger-style guitarist, singer and songwriter. With 4
consecutive USA Blues Music Award nominations – and nine previous albums under
her own name – her music is influenced by a myriad of traditional Blues music styles
from acoustic ragtime to the classic sounds of New Orleans, Chicago and Memphis.
Drawing on material from her brand new album, ‘Box & Dice’, Fiona's Saturday evening
concert will feature 4 & 6 string cigar box guitars along with a rare National Reso-lectric
baritone guitar.
Joining forces for the first time, Jenny & Fiona present ‘Boyes Girls Go Bush’. Firsttime exhibitor Fiona offers natural history photos to compliment Jenny's paintings, along
with a series of Blues Folk Art images influenced by time spent with musical mentors in
America. Jenny will also show prints displaying imagery from her newly-published epic
fantasy novel series and signed copies of her childrens book ‘Horatio and the Midnight
Cat’ will also be available. Solo CD launch concert will follow the art exhibition opening
on Sat 2 May.
