Artwork Story:
This art piece is a dedication to our Elders in honour of the 2023 NAIDOC Week theme, "For Our Elders". The main pathway in this painting is a symbol of the path that our Elders and generations before us have laid. Our Elders have paved the way for us and are constantly sharing their cultural knowledge. The mountains symbolise the struggles and hardships our Elders have been through and how they have consistently shown their strength through their triumph. The campsite at the bottom of the painting represents the past and the top left campsite is our Elders today. The circle around them represents a circle of safety, symbolising to us to always look after, respect and listen to our Elders. We would not be where we are today without our Elders. This painting is dedicated to all of the special Elders in my life who have guided me, taught me and shown me the strength culture has to pull me through even when times are hard.

“I have always been a creative person but it wasn't until I followed my passion for painting, that my true creative joy was unlocked. Painting is a way for me to connect back to my ancestors and to feel connected to country, even when I am far away from it. I truly see it as my gift and I love being able to share that with others.” - Caitlyn
