Acrylic on archival canvas

This painting represents the changing of seasons and how our ancestors lived in harmony with Country and our environment.. Only taking what was needed to survive and giving back to Earth, we used burning methods to stop bush fires while creating fresh growth. We took journeys across Country, eating bush tucker and sharing with neighbouring tribes. We held ceremony to honour the land, stories and traditions. 

The painting celebrates connection, community and a harmonious relationship with the land and it’s people.
