Mary Hammond 'Prahran' still life on the other handMary Hammond explores the experience of everyday women with wit and grace. In this series of four works, she catches women as they go about town, unaware they are the subject of fine art.

A highly respected artist, Hammond is represented in public collections including the War Memorial, Canberra, the State Library
