Artwork Story

I was inspired to create this artwork when I was speaking at an International Women's day event. When I was driving from Naarm back to Peek Whurrong Country (Warrnambool) I was reflecting on the strong line of Aboriginal women that came before me. 

When the 2023 NAIDOC theme was announced 'For Our Elders', I was motivated to create a piece about my nan Maude, great nan Amy, and great grannies Mary and Alice. This artwork shows the courage that all of those women had/have, and how it has allowed me to be the strong woman that I am today. 

It shows the waterways of the country they were on, Kirrae Whurrong back home and Bunurong country here in Naarm. It shows the Kangaroos and emus by the river, my family gathering by the Hopkins river, and the continuing connection I will always spiritually have with my nans.
