MARK STELLA | ‘Geckos on the Brown Earth’  | Acrylic on can

"Geckos – This piece is a representation of a courtship ritual."

Born in Canberra, relocated to Cairns/Gimuy region in childhood. 

"My people are from K’gari (Fraser Island) – Butchulla people.

I am a self-taught artist, I grew up watching my aunts and uncles paint indigenous art and developed my own style later in life. 

My art is a way for me to express myself and for my creativity, it is also a hobby I enjoy and would like to pass down to my grandchildren. "
