Copyright is extremely important to me as an artist. Artists are highly likely to be exploited at some point throughout their career. We need to acknowledge that free reign is not acceptable.

Copyright is important to me. While I don’t mind people being influenced by my work or appropriating it with permission, blatant unauthorised commercial rip-offs can be irritating and insulting.

I appreciate the agency for its work defending the right of artists to be acknowledged and paid. And for sending money, of course. Thank you!

Artists spend so long creating their work and attempting originality, to have this taken away easily is an insult to their craft.

I am fascinated by people: the relationships between them and what drives them to act the way they do. Creating art is my way of making sense of the world.

I began painting to share my cultural knowledge with others. Art gives me an opportunity to express myself and tell the traditional Miriwoong stories.
