Aussie Heat Wave

"Heat Waves" sung by the Glass Animals, played over and over in my mind. The aim was to depict the feeling of heat, love and passion that comes through in tbe song onto a canvas. So, one hot sticky night last summer, "Aussie Heat Wave" was created.

The outback reds and browns, together with the rustic dotting captures the rich brown land we all love. This painting will add a warm, cozy feel to any room.

I am an acrylic abstract painter living in Brisbane. I am an Aboriginal woman of Muluridji and Western Yalanji descent (Mareeba - Palmer River - Bloomfield area in Qld). I am accepted and acknowledged by the Aboriginal community of Kuranda, near Cairns, Qld. I have always been creative. Seven years ago, I began painting in earnest. I am a self taught painter who enjoys experimenting with different techniques. I explore the main themes of emotions, spirituality, spiritual growth and identity.
Many of my paintings can be categorised as contempoary stylised Aboriginal art (not representative of a specific Aboriginal group or art tradition, but rather exploring what it means to be an Aboriginal artist of mixed race and identity). I enjoy action painting, abstract expressionism, pour art and heavy texture work.
I hope that you find yourself in calm and tranquility when you view my work. Many works are designed to encourage the practices of mindfulness, meditation and love for Country.
