This one has gone to a good home…
My inspiration as was for my previous painting ‘YES, and be on the right side of History’ is because of my strong belief that it is 2023 and the time is now to recognize that this continent was not and never was Terra Nullius (vacant land – no one living here) and we should therefore enshrine in our constitution an Indigenous voice to parliament.
At this point in our history it is not dividing us but revealing us, who we are.
It’s Time We Walked, Framed acrylic on canvas, a large painting 70cm x 50cm.
Today (June 17, 2024) I received a lovely letter along with a Certificate of Appreciation from Carol Godwin, CEO-Anglicare CQ. Back in May I offered my artwork ‘It’s Time We Walked’ to AnglicareCQ via Rev. William Oates who happens to be the father of fellow Emu Park Art Gallery Member, the very talented Kate Oates.
Carol stated in her letter: “Your painting is particularly relevant as AnglicareCQ moves through our reconciliation journey. It will certainly open conversations as we continue to take steps towards reconciliation, both individually and as an organisation.”
I am very honoured to have this piece now displayed in the CQ Anglicare Corporate Office.
( See photo’s below)…. sent to me show Rev. William Oates when he kindly delivered the painting to the AnglicareCQ office and also the artwork ‘It’s Time We Walked’ now hanging on the Office wall.
If you have not visited the Local Emu Park Gallery and Gift Shop then I highly recommend that you do so. Admission is FREE and the Gallery is open from Wednesday to Sunday 10am to 4pm
