A new exhibition featuring the works of three Aboriginal Elder artists — Uncle Shane Charles, Aunty Jean and Aunty Lee-Anne Clarke — has launched at Hunt Club Community and Arts Centre as part of NAIDOC week celebrations.
Uncle Shane Charles, a respected Aboriginal leader, works using acrylic paints on canvas. He has worked within numerous Aboriginal and mainstream organisations across sectors including education and training, justice, arts and Cultural heritage.
Aunty Jean, who has lived in the western suburbs for the past 32 years, began painting as a child. Through her art, she shares cultural stories that were taught to her by her mother.
Aunty Lee-Anne Clarke is a traditional and contemporary Koorie artist whose work is inspired and influenced by her connection to Country. She has lived in Brimbank for more than 22 years.
The free exhibition, supported by Brimbank council with Brimbank Neighbourhood Houses, is open until September 19.
