Visual Art – Newcastle

My name is Saretta Fielding and I am a Wonaruah woman. I was born in Sydney to an Aboriginal father of the Wonaruah people and a European mother. I have enjoyed the benefit of growing up within a large and close knit extended family and much of my work is influenced by family connection and relationships. I consider Lake Macquarie my home and am greatly influenced by the beauty of this country in my Artwork. Growing up alongside Lake Macquarie, surrounded by the bush lands of the Watagan Mountains and the wonderful beaches of our coastline has given me the best nature has to offer. "In my artwork, I aim to evoke emotion, enhance connection to spirit and country, and invite the viewer to ponder and experience something new."
