Artwork Description

Country at Night depicts Country beneath the night sky, where the stars, mountains, river and meeting places come together as one connected landscape.

The stars represent the night sky above Country, while the mountains and surrounding landscape reflect the land and its features. The flowing river represents water moving through Country, connecting the landscape and the people. The circular meeting places represent gathering, connection and coming together on Country.
The artwork reflects the continuing relationship between people, Country, water, land, stars and the night sky.

Artist Bio

since 1993 I have painted professionally and loved every minute of it. My biggest influence in both art and life is my Dad. He was a successful artist,storyteller, community elder and traditional man. Though sadly he has passed now I hold strong my ties to my tribes and respect and protect our stories. Most of my art recounts my family stories passed on by Dad,mum,nan & great grandparents. I come from the Gidabul/Ngarkabul/Widjabul on mums side & Wonnarua/ Dhunghutti on my Dads.

I also share my passion for art by facilitating workshops for children teaching them all about my wonderful culture and art. I am very fortunate to work with and mentor vulnerable women both indigenous and non-indigenous through art, listening and sharing. I hold yarning circles with the indigenous women at a womens rehabilitation centre. we are able to hold such a sacred space really creates a safe space for healing.
