Shell Treasures Abounding

I painted 6 original 1.6 X 1.5 art pieces of the Ocean and beach life series as first large Art Works. One was in Peta Murphy MP's office until she passed in December... It helped so many people be inspired, stay calm and connect and work with each respectfully and kindly...

They have all SOLD and this is the first in the "Shell Treasures Abounding " series.

STORY:

"I hold in my heart the stories of my Grandparents living along the beaches burying their belongings in the sand for protection. They travelled around and returned to collect these items at each beach. This practice reminds me to look at the sand as not just a source of fun and enjoyment, but as a historic place where old treasures may still be. In this painting I am imagining all the wonderous shells, driftwood, mussels, fish and many types of treasures around that my Ancestors saw.

My new hope is that this painting inspires you and your Mob's , to look at all the beautiful sea life and keep respecting the environment.”

My Aboriginal walk: My artistic evolution has developed since discovering our Aboriginal Heritage on both parents a short time back... Mum is a Stolen Generation survivor who can also paint... My two Mobs are Parrdarrama Pungenna and Six Rivers in Palawa, Tasmania. During this time of researching and working in Aboriginal Community, my unique voice and perspective is adding depth and richness to the vibrant tapestry of Aboriginal art in many Schools, Business, Galleries, Aboriginal Fairs including Darwin Art Fair and Tarnathi Aboriginal Art Fair, plus Community, NAIDOC events, Blak markets and Street Art spaces around Melbourne and the world.....
My Artistic walk: I demonstrate an unwavering devotion to my Art, exploring new techniques and pushing the boundaries of my artistic expression. My dedication to preserving and sharing Indigenous culture through my art is evident in every painting and I display this at Exhibitions in Galleries,
My most recent Ocean’s Strength exhibition almost sold out at Baluk Arts, Mt Eliza. This give me an opportunity to display my artistic abilities, offering viewers a glimpse into the depth of my knowledge and the evolution of my artistic style.
My Primary School and Resident Artist walk: In addition to my accomplishments as an artist, I have an extensive experience in educational settings as a School Teacher and Resident Artist. I actively engage and educate young minds and all staff and parents about Indigenous culture through art which allows me to develop a children’s story exploring Tasmanian Aboriginal language and culture.
2024 walk: To respect myself and my Culture and share that with everyone along my journey in the form of Artwork, exhibitions, teaching and Art Programs.... see in there...
