Yvette Coppersmith has been painting portraits since she was a teenager, and teaches portraiture at the National Gallery in Victoria. The year-old has had five portraits entered in the Archibald Prize. Anne is interested in the way women's representation as subjects has changed. But as more women become active in the arts and as gender parity is reached amongst entries to the Archibald and other awards, "we are opening up the scope of what it means to be a woman … reinventing and growing and trying new looks on".
