Sovereign Koala

I have been considering ways to express an appreciation and to acknowledge the importance of our Australian First Nations culture and traditions. The piece contains an Acknowledgement to Country in the background explaining that Sovereignty was never ceded, which is highlighted by the Sovereign crowned Koala. The other animals and flora were included to set the Australian scene and depict things we take for granted that were maintained for thousands of generations by our First Nations Peoples.

I am a greenhorn artist having only truly picked my pencils and brushes a year ago. I have always been scared to really try but found a true love for the ability to express myself through art.

I appreciate colour and the joy it brings me seeing it on a canvas or on paper. I have found many artist that have subtle influences on what I’m currently creating. There is a mix of abstract cubism with a dash of neo expressionism.

My interest in Jean-Michel Basquiat has encouraged me to be courageous in adding my truly personal touch. I love the work of Ian Jones from the UK and how he has incorporated a graffiti street influence to his neo expressionism.

Currently, I’m incorporating a colourful concrete foundation with cubist abstract faces. Next I intend on expanding into realism combined with a touch of street flair and colour.

Ultimately, I aim to enjoy what I’m doing and look forward to sharing it with others.
