Artwork Description

This piece represents our land when in drought. Our ancestors honoured the spirit of the hot summer, embracing its challenges and embracing its beauty. And as the sun dipped below the horizon each evening, casting the sky in fiery hues, they found peace in knowing that even in the midst of the hottest days, there was still beauty to be found in the world around them.

Artist Bio

Jessica is recognised by the Yamatji Malpa Aboriginal Corporation (YMAC).
She is also a Member of Indigenous Art Code proudly protecting artists and buyer from cultural appropriation. Jessica is wanting to create contemporary Aboriginal art as a way to create awareness of First Nations people and work towards healing and closing the gap. ❤️💛🖤

Jessica is a proud Noongar living on Yued land who first started painting after feeling an urge to learn more about her Aboriginal culture after moving back to her home town of Moora, Western Australia with her partner and 2 children after 12 years of living in Perth.

Upon having weekly visits with her nana and wanting to know more about her culture and background, she felt inspired to create art as a way of feeling connected to her culture which has mostly been lost due to her great grandfather being part of the stolen generation, being assimilated into a white society and forced to reject his Aboriginal culture.

Enjoy her beautiful art!
