'It was an odd road to be walking, this of painting.' So wrote Virginia Woolf in her classic 1927 novel, To the Lighthouse. While the life journeys of many artists can be described as 'odd roads', few were as original and challenging as those of the pioneering Australian women of art from the late 19th and 20th centuries. As these richly talented women gathered around their easels and shared their dining tables, their courage, energy and generosity shone through. This book tells something of the extraordinary lives of these women and in the process celebrates their individuals and collective contributions to the shaping of modern Australian art.

*CBCA 2022 Notable Book: Eve Pownall Award* *Longlisted for the ABIA Book Awards 2022: Small Publishers' Children's Book of the Year* Age range 9+ These are my stories from a dry remote place, where growing up was very different for what children know today. Kunyi June Anne McInerney was just four years old when she and three of her siblings were taken from their family to the Oodnadatta Children's Home in South Australia in the 1960s. Through an extraordinary collection of over 60 paintings, accompanied by stories, Kunyi presents a rare chronicle of what life was like for her and the other Children's Home kids who became her family. Her paintings are a healing trove of memories that reveal the loneliness, fear and courage of the Stolen Generation children who were torn from family and loved ones. From bible lessons to sucking bone marrow and collecting bush fruits, the escapades, adventures and sorrows of the children are painted with warmth, humour and unflinching honesty. Kunyi's story is one of healing and reconciliation. She is telling it so that the lives of the children at Oodnadatta Children's Home will not be forgotten. This is a collection of tender and honest stories that will educate children on our nation's history and remind adult readers of the real impact of the Stolen Generations.
