Water is intrinsically linked to the cultural and spiritual identity of First Nations. The land and water form an integral part who Aboriginal people are – and they, in turn, form a part of the land and waters. Healthy waterways enable First Nations to continue their cultural and economic activities, including fishing, hunting, practising ceremonies, following song lines, and harvesting medicinal plants and herbs.
Luke Penrith is a passionate, proud Aboriginal artist. He lives and works on Wiradjuri Country, his great grandmother’s country, in central NSW. Luke’s artwork is modern contemporary. He believes working in a single medium restricts his artistic process as each idea manifests its own individual style. Luke paints on canvas, then transfers his designs to many different mediums, such as home décor, sporting-active wear, and street wear. He also loves interior design, sport, gardening, fine food and travel.
