About the Artist:
Jo Wilson: Hello, I’m Jo Wilson a First Nations woman & contemporary Aboriginal Artist. I am a proud descendant of the Ngemba people of Brewarrina (Northwestern NSW). I was born on Ngunnawal Country in Canberra and although I did not grow up traditional on Country I have a strong bond with my spiritual home where my mum grew up in Brewarrina NSW. My identity as an Aboriginal woman is something very important to me, and I have always been proud. I have been on a healing journey these past couple of years and connecting to and finding peace with my Indigenous heritage and culture through painting. I feel so grateful to have found healing and happiness through creative expression. I paint intuitively and through ritual, this connects me to my ancestors. I love to create my own dreaming, depicting healing rainbows, but often also include my love of the moon, sun, stars & universe in my works. I hope my creations bring you joy, healing and strength as much as they have given me creating them. (Artist has revised bio since catalogue publication).
Cosmic Dreaming: Each design is different but represents the wonder of our cosmic skies.
Mob Connections: Mob which means family in our culture is extremely important. The feeling of love & connection is so strong in our community. Spirit is always healed when you are with mob.
