Charmaine Davis

This work is part of Charmaine Davis’ solo exhibition, 'Country'. Says Davis: “The landscapes of Country have been my inspiration. Conveying the lay of the land and First Nations people’s connection to place. Rivers and mountains are themes that have always run through my work. A sense of place also is important in my works. That sense of belonging is very powerful. Grounds you.

“Connection to history and Country has always grounded my practice within a deeply authentic place. I am tracing over the landscapes with my brush, feeling my way into the mystery of our lives and the places our families have lived. I have a strong sense of place to my homelands connecting me to Country. As I travel this Country I feel connected with the landscapes.”
