MCU CEO Greg Stevens with Philippa Elvy and her painting Backyard Conversation - winner of best overall exhibit in the Zonta Woman In Art Competition.

MCU WERE the major sponsor of the annual Zonta Club of Blackall Range Women In Art Exhibition. This three day event showcased the creative talents of women of all ages from the local area. CEO Greg Stevens said MCU were delighted to support the Woman In Art Exhibition as the major sponsor for another three years.

The best overall exhibit went to Philippa Elvy’s painting “Backyard Conversation”.

Judge Bree Richards commented: “I thought this work was really interesting, with its wacky, warped depiction of a group of blokes having a natter. It looks like something you might see reflected back at you in one of those zany circus mirrors.

Greg Stevens was so intrigued with Phillipa’s entry – which she described as her husband having a natter with friends in the backyard – that Greg bought the painting.
