About the Artist
My name is Tayla Donaczy.
I am 32 years old, Mother of 3 beautiful children and partner to an amazing fiance.
My mob are the Mutthi Mutthi people.
I am on a journey of self discovery, to learn and connect with my culture. This is something that has been challenging due to multiple members of my family affected by the Stolen Generation, unfortunately, very little knowledge and stories were able to be passed down to me growing up.
I begun painting to connect with my ancestors and learn the ways to storytell through art. This is an ongoing journey for me, to be able to express myself, who I am and the messages I would like to share. I have found deep connection to my culture through paint and expression.
My mission is to be able to pass down knowledge and stories to my children to keep culture in my family alive.
About the Artwork
Inspired by my beautiful Mum who brought me up to love my neighbours, and lend a hand when it's needed. To pickup a person who is down and work together to create a better culture, whether that's at work, in your personal life or in the community.
This is a story about community and all the different gatherings that occur within. Building friendships, sharing stories and sharing the love!
