Looking down on the land by Sharon Smith
Sharon Smith is a descendant of the Wiradjuri tribe of western New South Wales. Her paintings reflect her love of the natural world. Through her depictions of landscapes, trees and animals, Sharon explores her own personal connection with and her people’s age old relationship to the earth.
"Looking down on the land is about connecting to land and water listening to our Elders to create a better place. It is about creating connection when sharing our stories and is a part of healing and helps us to become as one. The symbols represent men and women travelling the land and the rivers."
