EMMANUEL COLLEGE

In 2022, I started Story Telling through art sessions with the year 9 students at Emmanuel College as part of their Cultural Immersion Week. 

In these sessions, I would start by talking about my journey to becoming a Contemporary Aboriginal Artist, my identity challenges, work experiences and personal and professional growth. I would talk about my artworks, explaining how I represent different things through symbols and encourage the students to create their own masterpiece inspired by my work and guided by myself when they are coming up with designs and painting. These sessions have also continued through 2023.The students amaze me with their own storytelling abilities and perspectives, I really enjoyed seeing what they did come up with.
