Maria Watson-Trudgett

Wiradyuri

I am a Koori women of 'freshwater' Country, and Wiradyuri. I am a self taught artist and paint in acrylics. I paint stories that reflect my Country landscape - the rivers and waterholes. Painting creates a sense of belonging, strengthens my Aboriginal identity and connects me to my culture and heritage.

My painting style is a contemporary fusion of abstract and iconography, Aboriginal symbols. I use flowing lines and groups of symbols to narrate my stories. This is the way my Old people communicated with me, while drawing flowing impressions into the ground and sharing stories.
I mimic these same movements in my artwork as a way of preserving my cultural traditions. I sometimes use all dots to narrate a story.
