About the design/artwork:This artwork represents the Hopkins River on Gunditjmara country. I spent a lot of my childhood playing in and on the Hopkins river, my nan and pop live in a small country town called Ellerslie which is located just outside of Warrnambool. The Hopkins flows through the regional centre of Warrnambool; and the river passes by the end of the Great Ocean Road near Allansford.
About the artist:Merindah-Gunya (Bayley Mifsud) - Gundjitmara.
I am a proud Gundjitmara woman from the Eastern Maar Nation. Bayley was born and raised in Warrnambool, Victoria, where she started painting from a young age and learnt from her Elders about traditional storytelling through painting. Now she currently lives on Bunurong country in Melbourne, Victoria. "Creating art has allowed me to connect with my culture on a deeper level that I have experienced. I have been raised extremely connected within my community however through continuing a tradition through storytelling and art it has allowed me to continuously reflect and extend my knowledge and experiences as an Aboriginal woman."
