My name is Indra Wills, the newly appointed Gallery Manager of the Ralph Kerle Gallery, Double Bay, Sydney. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, to share some of the evening’s experiences, and to write about future plans designed for the new gallery.

It is difficult to describe my artworks using commonly understood art definitions. When viewers discover the artworks are not paintings, rather they are photographic prints created using a water based inkjet printer on cotton etching rag, often referred to as a Giclee print or museum quality fine art paper, they seem to be uncertain of their validity as original artworks and their value.

I am delighted to announce I am now an official sponsor partner of the Sydney Eye Hospital Foundation. The Sydney Eye Hospital along with the Melbourne Eye Hospital have been world leading eye and patient care institutions for a long long time.

With travel in and out of Australia banned, the Australian art world is benefiting. Anecdotally through networks, it seems money spent on travel is being reallocated in particular to home decor - the living space - to make it more aesthetically and environmentally appealing as the pandemic curtails public entertainment and safe socializing occurs in a domestic setting.
