ELVERINA JOHNSON | 'Womans Story' | 2025 | Painted buoy using acrylic paint

This purple one is called Woman's Story. It reminds me of the women who raised me and taught me so much growing up. My mum, grandmothers, aunties and Elders shared their knowledge, stories and life experiences with me. This work is a tribute to their strength and the important place women hold in our families and communities. I've painted women standing they represent out elders and the women sitting or just between each elder are our younger women in our communtiy that are watching and learning. I boys dont have any daughters yet but i have lots grandsons and I'll continue to be that strong woman guiding and supporting my sons and their women they choose to show my grandsons how imprtant our women are. this one is my mums favourite.
