Kenita-Lee McCartney
I am a proud Wemba Wemba, Wiradjuri, Wotjiboluk, Nari Nari and Boon Wurrung woman living on the stolen lands of the Wemba Wemba people.
Creating for me has always been my way to express emotions, experiences, healing and self care. As an adult I began expressing myself through various creative practices, including dance and weaving.
Keeping our traditions alive is so important to me. My pembemgguk (children) are growing up strong within their identity and culture, surrounded by art, culture and community. I like to paint in mostly vibrant colours to express myself, I turn to a natural palette through different seasons in my life.
