Artwork Statement:

When I first saw the landscape of Uluru and the dazzling night sky twinkling behind, I was awestruck at the beauty of nature. I never knew nature could hold such significance- true beauty and hundreds of years of traditions. My mind instinctively caught the mesmerising landscape, and this drawing represents the traditions, the cultural significance and the elegance of the stars and the Uluru combining to hold the memories and the cultural stories from the Uluru for generations. For me, this isn't just a simple painting of a pretty landscape. This is a representation of how generations of culture were combined to last for eternity.
