Within my art piece I have portrayed the hills of my mother’s country known as Ngargaroon – Ngargaroon is the traditional name that is known to be “Texas”. These hills are described in bright colourful ochre colours such as, red, yellow, green, and pink etc. As an artist I chose these bright colours as they highlight and outline the hill like figures perfectly with traditional dotting around each figure. This art piece – I was inspired by my Gully (Great Grandfather). Hector Jandany who was a very tall man, he was very humble and kind. A leader within the community and one of the first wave of artist painting. Growing up I recall being around my elders, listening and learning culture and traditional practices. “I am grateful for what i know today and very much thankful for what our elders taught us”. Without our elders who are we?
