Our Inspiration
"Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force filled with good instincts, passionate creativity and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman".
From Women Who Run With Wolves by author Clarissa Pinkola Estes.

About us
The Wild Women Artists work in a variety of media, live in diverse landscapes, pursue individual goals, but come together to mount two group shows each year...a fall show in Reno, and a winter show in Elko. Each year we donate a portion of our raffle sales to support the annual Emerging Artist Scholarship Award in conjunction with the Nevada Museum of Art Scholastic Arts awards.
The group was founded by Jimmie Benedict in 1995 in order to bring creative women together and provide a nurturing environment for artistic growth. Over the years artists have come and gone as life flows on, but the spirit remains.
