Celebrating the Nursing Profession:
The ‘Women who Dared’ collection consists of over 400 works by female artists, from all 7 continents of the world, spanning 2,500 years.
​​
Thirty years ago, two motivated art collectors and philanthropists, Ms. Sandi Nicholson and her husband Mr. Bill Nicholson, discovered that less than 2% of works exhibited by the world’s leading museums and galleries were by women. This inspired them to assemble the ‘Women Who Dared’ collection as a celebration of the talent, grit and perseverance of women in every field of human endeavor.
​
About 80% of nurses globally are women. In honor of the nursing profession, and in support of Nurse Heroes, the 'Women Who Dared' collection is now exhibited to the public for the first time.​​
