ABOUT THE ARTIST
SHERI SKELE
"I'm a proud Bidjara woman and a contemporary Aboriginal artist sharing my culture, experiences and hopes for healing our history through my knowledge and story works. I began painting as a way to connect with my culture and quickly realised that it was also an incredibly meditative and spiritual experience for me.
I call my artworks bigi nagala, which means 'I am dreaming' in Bidjara. I feel a deep connection to my Aboriginal heritage, the earth, country and spirit, and feel privileged to be able to share my stories and culture with you through my artwork. I hope to make my mob proud of the artworks that I create and knowledge that I share."

ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Pink Sunset
This painting is inspired by the beautiful Queensland coastline and breath-taking pink autumn sunsets. Filled with stars, dreamy palms, campsites and yarning circles, pink sunset will add warmth and personality to any space in your home. - Sheri Skele
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Adventure
Living in Nhulunbuy was such an adventure. We would jump in the ute and head to one of the many waterholes nearby. Along the way we would pass lots of families in the bush often stopping to offer them some freshly caught fish if we had any. The country was so beautiful, full of colour, trees as far as the eye could see, and flies....yep there were a lot of flies. - Sheri Skele
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Fresh water
This piece represents the fresh water in the wet season. We would often drive for hours before reaching a fresh water hole to take a refreshing dip in. The water is so crystal clear you can see reeds growing on the bottom and fish hiding in them. - Sheri Skele
