Women of Inverness

Women of Inverness is a new exhibition by Jenny Matthews. This project presents 17 intimate portraits of women from across the city of Inverness, documenting diverse lives and honouring the vital, often quiet contributions that sustain a community.

Additionally on view are a series of photographic portraits by local Senior Phase pupils studying photography at UHI Inverness. These photographs were grew out of a one-day workshop led by Matthews.
