Yaraay Dhurra-Li "Sunrise"
Yaraay Dhurra-li, is a symbolism of our mob getting up every day, standing up every day and showing up every day, just like the sun does. Although some days are cloudy, we are still here and we are still pushing through, standing our ground, and waiting to be heard. Within this artwork, layers of wavy outlines of people stretch across, acknowledging those who came before us and continuing on their legacy, and recognising the allies, who join with us every day, elevating our voices. The colours are those of the sunrise, warming the land, giving life and energy in moving forward. Get up, stand up and show up, just like the sun does each day, and together we will be stronger!

A great deal of my artistic vision and inspiration comes from the changing landscapes in my home town, on country and from my journeys to ocean country and beyond.

I am Leah. I am an Aboriginal woman born in Canberra, ACT. My mob are Kamilaroi from my Grandmothers country in the Gunnedah region. I am a self-taught Contemporary Aboriginal Artist and began painting at a very young age. I have been painting in a professional capacity for over 7 years.
"Art is such an important platform to share my culture with the wider community. My art is like a 'visual yarn', people really connect with the stories and meaning behind the work".
A great deal of my artistic vision and inspiration comes from the changing landscapes in my home town, on country and from my journeys to ocean country and beyond. I use layers of fine dotting, line work, colour gradients, Aboriginal symbolism and my signature style of 'cracked earth' landscape throughout my paintings. Kamilaroi country is often dry and cracked, but rich and deep in history, culture and story as represented by the space in between the cracked earth. I pay great attention to detail, natural patterns, light, shade and texture in the landscape.
My paintings often work between two perspectives; landscape and birds-eye view. Through a birds-eye view, I generally map the journeys in which I take, along with my ancestral and cultural ties. As I learn more about my culture and discover my ancestors’ footprints in the landscape, I feel the urge to paint my story, my sense of place.
