Zoe Freney is an artist, writer and Head of Art History & Theory at Adelaide Central School of Art in South Australia. She is currently undertaking a PhD (studio practice) in painting and research at the Australian National University. Her project investigates the creation of alternative images of the mother and the experience of mothering, images that privilege her embodied experience of mothering over stereotypes perpetuated by the media and western, Christian traditions. Her work has been included in local, interstate and international exhibitions.
