This painting tells a story of families coming together by the beach camping, fishing, and spending time on Country. Kids run along the sand, collecting shells, just like their aunties and nans did before them.
Each shell is more than just something beautiful — it holds a story. A story of culture, family, and the deep connection between land and sea.
At the centre of the painting is a bright orange and yellow meeting place, where all the paths come together. Surrounding it, earthy browns, deep blues, and soft pinks represent the land, water, and the journey lines that connect us all.
Even in today’s busy world, this painting reminds us to slow down to notice the colours, listen to the stories, and remember where we come from.
