Artists on Show

We are honoured to promote the work of talented local artists through our Artists on Show exhibition.

Since 2021, we have proudly displayed paintings by local artists in our Senior School, Bay View Terrace reception. These pieces showcase the abundance of artistic skill in our community and provide a platform for the artists to showcase their creations.

The best part is that the artworks are available for purchase, and a percentage of all sales from the exhibition will be directed towards the development of the Arts at St Hilda’s.

This semester, we are thrilled to introduce Hana Fry as our Artists on Show spotlight artist.


Hana Fry was born in 1986 & grew up living and moving across multiple countries. From Cyprus, the US, Venezuela and the UK before moving to Perth alone at age 18 to attend university. The move to Perth wasn’t originally a long-term plan but Hana fell in love with Perth instantly and has now lived in Perth for longer than any other country and has made it her home.

Hana’s art is inspired by her “life of two halves” and represents the juxtaposition in the cultures of her parents and the countries in which she has lived, as well as the often competing priorities of family life. Her art is the coming together of the structured and linear with the sweeping free movements of unplanned joy with a heavy influence drawn from West Australian botanicals. Hana creates bold abstract artworks that are instantly recognisable for their soft undertones and competing structured lines and shapes.

If you would like to book a private viewing of Hana’s work, please contact our Head of Philanthropy to arrange a convenient time.

Hana’s Art on Show

Inspired by both the sensory human experience of living and her deeply visceral inner world, she paints intuitively responding to the colour or texture capturing the energies of the paint. Spontaneity and movement are key in her work, because to be present, in the moment, is true freedom.
