Wajaarr is a Gumbaynggirr word for country/land. This painting reflects our deep connection to Country as Aboriginal people. Country shapes our identity and sense of belonging. It is a place for all our cultural traditions, beliefs, stories, and resources. It's where we connect with each other and our ancestors and feel whole. We take care of the land and it takes care of us.

Jess lives in rural NSW and is a proud Gumbaynggirr woman and Contemporary Aboriginal Artist, raised with a strong connection to Culture and Country.
Working with acrylics and digital art, she draws Inspiration from the natural world and life experiences.
