One of Gippslandia’s favourite artists, Eirian Chapman, has a brand-new exhibition – My Gippsland Girl – on at the Meeniyan Art Gallery (MAG).

Millowl Phillip Island–based artist Eirian explains that the series “explores the symbolism of smokestacks interwoven with the rolling hills of Gippsland”.

“The woman with red braids, smoking like a chimney stack, her figure like an ornament in the landscape.”
