Jersey Design:

This painting tells the story of connection to mother earth and farther sky. Down the bottom is the ocean, above the ocean is the river, the circles in the river represent sacred medicine water holes where we wash our medicines or mix them with water.

The landscape mother earth is above the river. The Hawk in the centre represents the Illawarra Hawks, on the hawk chest is a meeting where we all come together as one. Either side of the Hawk are the Sacred mountains.

The Hawk teaches us strength and connection. The Hawk will show up to remind us all of our own strength, wisdom and to take notice of what is going on guide us. The Hawk reminds us to keep looking forward.

The Sky (father sky) shows the Stars. Since the beginning of time our people have used the stars as a guide to navigate our way across mother earth. The stars hold many of our stories, and our ancestors spirits.
