Female role model portraiture. A 600 year history of the leading feminine portraits from the Mona Lisa to Mrs Simpson.

Background to mural creation:
The series of murals was created to acknowledge the role and value that women throughout history have shaped our lives to provide position images and focal point for the school’s students in celebrating what it is to be female. The focus has been on duplicating these leading images into a tapestry of iconic images and statements.
