"Healing Journey" By Brittany Cochrane

Our artwork for 2023 is called Healing Journey by Brittany Cochrane. Stunning artwork symbolises the struggles and trials that we as a nation have faced in recent years. The artwork represents the healing and rejuvenation of the land after drought, bushfires, floods and of course the Covid-19 pandemic that impacted so many Australian people.

Brittany is a proud Aboriginal woman from Biripi country located on the NSW Mid North Coast. She grew up with strong influences from local culture - not just learning about but also practising tradition. Brittany has worked on multiple art projects within the local community including re-branding for The Mid Coast council. It is our honour to have this year's artwork created by a truly vibrant and talented artist.
