The artwork used throughout this planner has been designed by Sheri Skele, a proud Bidjara woman and a contemporary Aboriginal artist sharing her culture, experiences and hopes for healing our history through her knowledge and story works.
She began painting as a way to connect with her culture and community and with the help and guidance of her elders. She quickly realised that it has always been an innate part of her. Being able to continue this sacred tradition is something she cherishes and is deeply grateful for.
When she’s not in the studio painting she’s usually wrangling her three children Heart, Haven and Huxley who keep her grounded and very busy.
She calls her artworks bigi nagala, which means ' I am dreaming' in Bidjara. Our land spans across South West Queensland and is home to substantial Indigenous cultural heritage, Indigenous healing places, undisturbed natural bushlands, lagoons, wildlife and ancient waterways.
This is the place where the Rainbow Serpent, Mundagudda, began its movement through the landscape and formed the waterways including the sandstone gorge itself.
