Narelle Pietrobelli
Proud Waradjuri woman local to and connected to Illawarra for last 23 years. My Spirit Heart and Mind as a Survivor is a continuing healing through my Art works. My Story is I was taken at a young age and was a Ward of the State. My safest option was living on the street and I ended up eventually working for Graduate School of Medicine with Rural and Remote Communities. Currently l work for Waminda, a Women's Healing Center. l had my own tribe as l call them 9 children. Two passed away. Widowed at 21 and have been with my love of my life now for nearly 25 years. In recent years l have lived experience as a person with a Disability and have been out of the wheel chair for nearly 2 years. my Art has helped my rehabilitation and have l also adult children with Disabilities that have instilled in me that our resilience and determination is what binds us. l believe everything happens for a reason and my art Work always brings me back to my identity and reclaiming my healing.
