Olga Hiiva paints the faces that were never allowed to remain. Working on tablecloths, nightgowns, and worn domestic fabrics, she restores presence to lives erased by violence and silence. Her portraits are not memorials of suffering, they are acts of return, carrying grief, love, and survival across generations, and insisting that what was meant to vanish is still here.
Malu Urruspuru paints from instinct rather than concept. Her birds, animals, and faces emerge from feeling, not performance offering a deeply human reflection on creativity, limitation, and the strength found in beginning again.
For Stephanie Swilley, art and care are inseparable. Her practice weaves beauty, ecological awareness, and mutual aid into a single gesture proving that tenderness can be radical, and art can help reshape how we live together.
We are thrilled to announce that The Places We Call Home is now live on the Women in Arts Network! This international virtual exhibition brings together women-identifying and non-binary artists from around the world to explore the many meanings of home. Through painting, photography, sculpture, mixed media, and digital art, each artist shares deeply personal stories of belonging, memory, and connection, inviting viewers to reflect on their own sense of home, wherever it may be.

We chose the theme “Faces” to celebrate visibility, vulnerability, and connection. This exhibition is a call to artists everywhere to bring faces to life not just as images, but as reflections of emotion, identity, and the shared human experience.
What do faces mean to you identity, emotion, memory, or transformation? Across time and cultures, faces have been our most intimate storytellers, revealing and concealing, connecting and protecting. They hold laughter, silence, and the traces of every journey we’ve lived. Now, the **Women in Arts Network** invites **women-identifying and non-binary artists** from around the world to explore this timeless theme in our upcoming **international virtual exhibition**. Through your art, let faces become mirrors of humanity reflections of who we are, who we’ve been, and who we are becoming. Submit your work…
Before announcing the selected artists, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who submitted their work for The Places We Call Home.

Five painters who submitted for our virtual exhibition Birds showed us that birds are never just creatures in the sky they are symbols of freedom, memory, and imagination. Through their submissions, we see how birds can be playful, fragile, majestic, or deeply symbolic. Each work reflects personal vision, reminding us that while our experiences differ, the wonder birds inspire is universal. This feature is not about selected finalists, but about honouring the generosity of artists who shared their worlds with us. Their stories enrich the growing archive of this exhibition, which…
