Sherry Johnstone - Artist | Educator | Author
Sherry Johnstone is a passionate and proud descendant of the Keerray Woorroong Aboriginal people within the Maar Nation (better known as Gunditjmara) in Southwest Victoria, as well as the Yorta Yorta people. Her art blends traditional knowledge and symbolism with the new. Infusing cultural connection, story, and perspective in a contemporary style. Along with commissioned pieces, original art, and community projects, Sherry has also produced an Aboriginal Early Years Activity Resource launched in 2018 that has been utilised throughout Victoria within Early Years services.
"This website is dedicated to making a difference through my connection to culture, helping to create a better understanding for generations to come."
“Connect to your inner-child when you are out in nature. Feel your senses respond to Mother Earth. Be curious. Look around you, touch, listen, smell, taste and see the beauty that surrounds us every day. The beauty that we forget to experience and feel when we are busy and stressed. Open yourself up again to connect to your sense of wonder”
- Sherry Johnstone

The deeper meanings behind my artworks reflect my own personal thoughts, feelings, and experiences and how I view the world and everything it beholds. All things have a place, purpose, spirit, and connection. If we can all take the time to respect, listen, observe, connect, learn, and grow from what surrounds us, we can learn to live in harmony with it and care enough to creating a more sustainable future for our children and generations to come. For me it’s not a right to be here, it’s a privilege!
