This painting “United Journey” was painted in 2007 for a national art competition in which it was one of the major winners.. It shows the journey from the past to the present (starting at bottom left) from pristine times before Europeans came to these shores, to the taking the land under the guise of Terra Nullius, the incarceration and the murdering of our warriors, the taking the children away, then in 1967 the referendum for Aboriginal people to be counted in the census as human beings, to land rights, sorry day marches, then at the end the hope for us to all to walk together as one people in true equality through such things as sovereignty and a treaty with us First Nation mobs.. The children in the centre riding the bike are symbolic of the journey we can all take together united in the truth, in which we are one heart one people one mob..
