Rye depicts a family on a day out at their favourite beach. A time and place they feel safe, happy and loved.
There is a kookaburra on the left overlooking the children sitting in the sand surrounded by sparkling tea tree blossoms.
Kookaburras are a symbol of family and strong bonds. In their own natural habitat they look after each other and their babies, connected as family.
Here in this painting the kookaburra, with her golden crown, the grandmother looks out over the children as they play.
In the water there are gold flying fish jumping out of the sea. This represents the children’s future and their golden opportunities that lay ahead for them.
Growing up in a nurturing, grounded happy place where they will be free to explore who they are yet to become.
