Family Journey.

Description.

Nissa and her husband sent me a message after following my work online and let me know that they don’t celebrate January 26th and usually still have to work that day and over the last couple of years they’ve been financially stable enough to be able to save their additional wages and either donate them to indigenous charities or support local indigenous businesses or artists and this year they decided to choose me to create a piece of art for their home!

Nissa and her husband are highschool sweethearts and have two sons and this piece tells the story of their family living and exploring on Country. The whole family are water babies and find the colour blue just as calming as the ocean.

A pure white dot is featured in this design to represent their first baby that unfortunately didn’t survive pregnancy; as well as a stroke of pink hidden within the painting to represent strong feminine energy and a possible baby girl in future.

In the centre, symbols of the boys/men are holding a spear and a hunting stick, the mother/female figure has a digging stick and coolamon/shield for gathering and collecting all seated around a meeting place/campfire.
