Emily is one of Yinjaa-Barni Art’s emerging artists. Emily painted this artwork after returning to Country on an art centre camp to Millstream. She collected natural pigments from Millstream crossing and ground the rock down to natural pigment using a flat rock as a surface and a round rock as a tool. This is Emily’s first foray into painting with natural pigments. The artwork represents people gathering from the Country going to the waterhole.
Ever since I was a young girl I loved to go with my family fishing. We love going to East Harding dam and Jones creek. This fishing spot is where we catch a lot of salmons, barramundi, breams and also mud crabs. Now that I’m older, we take our younger kids out there and learn them the sea-side life. I love looking under the water and seeing all the fish swimming there. It is happy days spending the time with my family by the ocean.
After the rain the rivers and creeks in our country come alive with a new growth of plants . The country is filled with beautiful colours. We rejoice looking at our rivers and creeks full of water, so that we can go fishing, kids can go swimming and we can picnic with our families and friends.
