Shaping Country Canvas Wall Art

Holly Sanders is a proud Bundjalung woman from the North Coast of NSW, Australia. She currently lives and works as a teacher and artist on Yuin and Dharawal Countries. Through her contemporary art she aims to share her stories, culture and Healing Ground. Painting and maintaining cultural traditions is important for her identity, wellbeing and expresses the way she understands and respects her culture, ancestors and Healing Ground. She always looks to Healing Ground - the land, sky and the waters - and uses these images, stories and memories to paint. The patterns of Healing Ground at different times of the day and year heavily influence her art. Holly honours the continuing connection Bundjalung, Yuin and Dharawal people have to the land and acknowledges the stories, traditions and living cultures of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the oldest and longest continuing culture on the planet.
