Colour Hum

Creamery

"Painting and creating allows me the opportunity to explore and express my interest in human nature, especially people’s inner strength, kindness, resilience and humour.
 
The Sunshine Coast has been a magnet for me since I discovered it as a teenager. This body of work is a celebration of memorable moments and experiences enjoyed in this region, expressed in vivid and pulsing colour combinations to reflect its unique and special hum."

​With respect, esteem and gratitude to Country, to the Knowledge Holders, Custodians, Elders, Clans, Families and Peoples of the Kabi Kabi who speak for and care for Country. Cultural narratives presented by Birrunga Gallery in consultation with Uncle Brian Warner.

Featuring the cohort of the Birrunga Gallery Cultural Creative Development Program 2025.

The CCDP Cohort at Birrunga Gallery brings together a dynamic group of
emerging First Nations artists: Kane Brunjes, Stevie O'Chin, Naomi Green,
Jemma Stewart, Tiesha Martin-King, Elysia Love-Anderson, and Grace
Naveikata. Each artist draws from their rich Cultural backgrounds, using
diverse mediums to share stories of identity, resilience, and connection to
Country. Through the Cultural Creative Development Program (CCDP),
they refine their practice under the mentorship of established artists,
deepening their Cultural and artistic expression. Their collective work
reflects a powerful fusion of Cultural storytelling in contemporary and
historic frameworks, showcasing the strength and evolution of First
Nations art in Australia.

This exhibition is supported by Arts Queensland. We acknowledge and
appreciate their commitment to fostering Cultural and artistic expression,
which enables opportunities for emerging Indigenous artists to share their
stories and strengthen connections to Country.
