Rebecca Shae

Ngadjuri Woman

I’m Rebecca ~ a proud Ngadjuri woman, born and raised on Gubbi Gubbi Country. I’m a mama of five, a former vet nurse, and an intuitive artist with a wild, gentle heart. I’m a little chaotic, deeply caring, and forever guided by feeling, spirit, and story.

Satori Art Co was born in a season of awakening ~ a time when I was quietly unravelling everything I thought I had to be, and slowly returning to the woman I’d always been. Art came into my life as a form of healing. What began as therapy became a way of remembering… a language of emotion, culture, energy, and soul.
My work is contemporary Aboriginal art ~ soft, spiritual, and layered with meaning. It’s not about getting it perfect, it’s about painting what’s true. I create intuitively, led by energy, emotion, and connection rather than plan or structure. Every dot, line and shape tells a story ~ sometimes mine, sometimes yours, but always guided by something deeper.

Through my art, I explore themes of identity, motherhood, resilience, stillness, and the sacred bond between land and spirit. Each piece is made to hold space ~ to honour the quiet, the chaos, and the beauty of becoming.

The Space Between

The Space Between is a sacred tribute to reconciliation and all that lives in the quiet moments between conflict and connection - peace and pain. A story of healing and coming together.

The flowing lines mirror rivers, pathways, and energy lines - symbolising the long, often painful journeys walked by both First Nations and non-Indigenous people. They bend and weave, never in a straight line, just like healing itself. These currents carry truths, memories, and the echoes of voices finally being heard.
The large central circles represent sacred meeting places - spaces where stories are shared, hearts are opened, and generations gather. Surrounded U-shapes sit in unity not hierarchy - symbolising community, yarning circles, truth-telling, and respectful exchange.

The dot work ripples outward from each centre, like the impact of one act of courage or listening, reaching far beyond what we can see. They carry the spirits of those who came before - elders, ancestors, and trailblazers and the promise of those yet to come.

The cool, healing blues and oceanic greens speak to deep emotional waters - of grief, of growth, of gentleness. These are the colours of clarity and calm, of wounds being gently washed clean by time, conversation, and compassion.
This painting holds a pause in time - a sacred stillness. It is the breath before understanding, the space between two hearts learning to beat together again. A gentle reminder that reconciliation doesn't rush. It lives in the space between.

Salt Soul

This piece is an ode to the ocean ~ to barefoot days, salt in your hair, and the healing power of water. It symbolises flow, freedom, feminine energy, and the sacredness of country by the sea. The shells represent protection and the stories passed down through generations. The seahorse brings patience and gentleness. Starfish speak of resilience and regrowth ~ a soft reminder that we can begin again, even after breaking. Spiritual Meaning: Reconnection to self, cycles of healing, and the ocean’s wisdom flowing through the soul.
