When ten women artists are brought together to paint the beautiful old vessels of the Sydney Heritage Fleet and create an exhibition, there are always going to be wonderful stories to tell as they take their journeys of discovery through artists eyes. The Australian Society of Marine Artists and the Sydney Heritage Fleet have collaborated to run an Artist in Residency programme. Writer in Residence, Jenetta Russell, has interviewed these marine artists and tells the stories about the humorous, sad, enlightening, up-lifting and stressful times they have had along the way.
