About the artwork

BUDYARI NAWUNYA translates to ‘good to see you’ in Dharug language and is the title of this artwork.  It represents the strong connection between the staff, students and community. The school serves as a meeting place and is represented using large concentric circles in the middle of the canvas. It is a place where people come together to grow and where there is a strong sense of belonging. Following in the footsteps of their ancestors, staff and students travel together into the future with the valuable knowledge passed on from elders. Their footprints run parallel to the songlines connecting staff, students and community to the school. The stars at the top on the canvas pay tribute to the ancestors that have passed. At the base of the canvas the rocks on the land represent the solid foundation on which the school stands. Medicine leaves represent the healing nature of the various people and services that offer support to the students and their families in the school setting.

About the Artist: 
My name is Dominique Kean and I am a storyteller. I am a proud indigenous woman and paint contemporary Aboriginal artworks that convey a narrative. I love to create original pieces that are personalised and colourful. I was born on Gayemagal country and raised on Awabakal land. My ancestors were born and raised on Bundalung country. I have a strong connection to the ocean which is often reflected in the pieces I create through the use of both colour and movement. As a primary school teacher, I am passionate about sharing culture and make the classroom a welcoming and beautiful environment in which students are inspired to learn. 

Acknowledgement

We acknowledge and respect our first nations people and their incredible contribution to the arts. A strong Indigenous representation both in language and art has been very important to us at Bloom Classroom. We feel that the beauty and depth of history that can be communicated with Indigenous art is a gift we are lucky to have shared with us. We want to present beautiful art with meaning that can promote positive conversations and initiate further education and understanding and create completely inclusive environments.

💖 Supporting Indigenous Artists
We believe in giving back to the communities that inspire us. With every mat sold, a portion of the proceeds goes directly to the artist, helping them sustain their creative journey and continue sharing their heritage through their art.
