"The Dreaming" is the belief of many Aboriginal groups that Aboriginal people have been in Australia since the beginning.
During this significant period, the ancestral spirits came up out of the earth and down from the sky to walk on the land where they created and shaped its land formations, rivers, mountains, forests, and deserts. These were created while the ancestors traveled, hunted, and fought. They also created all the people, animals, and vegetation that were to be a part of the land and laid down the patterns their lives were to follow. It was the spirit ancestors who gave Aboriginal people the lores, customs and codes of conduct, and who are the source of the songs, dances, designs, languages, and rituals that are the basis of Aboriginal religious expression. These ancestors were spirits who appeared in a variety of forms. When their work was completed the ancestral spirits went back into the earth, the sky and into the animals, land formation, and rivers. The ancestors-beings are ‘alive’ in the spirit of Australian Ancestors

This artwork is inspired by the Cunnamulla Aboriginal culture, which comprises five different tribes: the Kunja people, who are the traditional owners of the Cunnamulla area, and the Kooma, Budjiti, Mardigan, and Kullilli people.  This artwork is a tribute to the rich and diverse Aboriginal culture of Cunnamulla, a town in the outback of Queensland, Australia."MY COUNTRY MY PEOPLE,"  it is personal work for me. This painting describes the storyline of the Aboriginal country where my mob is from, as well as the story of my life in the arts. This suggests that the painting is a way for the me to connect with my heritage and culture.

The cultural landscape of Cunnamulla is a vibrant mosaic, where the ancient traditions of the Warrego River, paralleling the story of Cunnamulla, stand as a testament to both constancy and transformation, mirroring the town's evolution from its ancient origins to its current role as a center of commerce and culture.Aboriginal art serves as a portal to Australia's essence, narrating the tales of the Dreamtime, the revered epoch of creation in Aboriginal mythology. The Balaang Healing initiative captures this essence, merging the visual magnificence of art with the deep-rooted cultural traditions of healing and community.Dreamtime stories are central to Aboriginal spirituality and identity. Tales such as the Seven Sisters Jukurrpa are not merely myths; they are affirmations of a vibrant culture and the laws that dictate social relationships within Aboriginal communities.The Dreamtime Serpent, pivotal in Aboriginal mythology, symbolizes the interconnection of life and the environment, a concept that profoundly echoes in our current era as we strive to comprehend our role in the natural world.
