Empowering women through her lens is a core passion for Gray. In 2023, she published the 50 & Wiser Club Book, celebrating the wisdom and experiences of women over 50. This project involved photographing and interviewing 74 inspiring women and was complemented by an exhibit and events that attracted over 450 attendees and raised $20,000 for the Go Girls Foundation, which supports women at risk.

Gray’s impactful work was highlighted in The Age here. Looking ahead, Gray’s 2024 projects, Wise Women 2024 and 2025, continue to shine a light on women over 40.

In 2022 I decided to embark on the exciting adventure of creating 50 beautiful portraits of women 50 & Wiser. Why? Because in 2022 I join the club too! I could either sit here grumbling … or do something to really celebrate this special time in my life. I choose the latter.

I wanted to celebrate with women who shared the bond of being 50 and over. Yes, 60, 70, 80 … even 100! I wanted these wise women to come out of hiding, to see how amazing they are and share their experience, wisdom, stories with the world.  

The 50 & Wiser Club Project culminated in a gallery style portrait exhibition and a beautiful coffee table book featuring and celebrating our 74 amazing women, their portraits, their stories, and their wisdom. (We couldn’t stop at just 50)

It was a chance for them to be bold, be courageous and do something for themselves. Something, that they and their families will treasure. These are their stories.
