Artwork Story:
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders have danced for thousands of years, an ancient form of storytelling to transcend time. Against the backdrop of sacred land, the fire burns bright, illuminating the earth. The sun, the moon and the stars glimmer in the night sky, a testament to the powerful presence of nature. Within our hearts a fire burns, we carry pride in our land and our people, the colour and beauty like no other in the world.
Artist:
While I was born and bred in Brisbane, my heritage is from North Queensland. My mother is from the Kuku Yalanji people in the Daintree/Mossman area where our totem is the crocodile. My father comes from Kubin Village on Moa Island in the Torres Strait Islands where our totem is the frilled neck lizard.
My inspiration for my artwork is my family, my Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and my tropical surroundings. I’m very influenced by pop culture, animation and modern design. I feel that my artwork is my gift to help others see the beauty of Aboriginal culture, appreciate Indigenous issues, and bring joy to people through colourful art and designs.
