In the Dreamtime Parndo the Giant Cod created the Murray River to which I am connected by birthright. This painting shows Parndo (Murray cod) on the left with his cousin from the sea on the right. Our tribes would live and travel all along the river, from the high country to the sea and food would always be plentiful. The circle indicates a camp where the women would sit with their coolamons and digging sticks talking about the day’s events. I think of my Grandfather and his family and how it would be to enjoy all that the river gave them. Not only food but sweet clear water to drink and swim in and an abundance of flora and fauna with which they also used to make the everyday tools they needed to survive.

Eva is an award winnig Indigenous artist specializing in painting on silk. Since training with master silk artist Marie France in 1997 she has continued to develop her unique style and techniques. Eva admits she has a real passion for painting on silk. “It has such a luxurious texture and delicate beauty. I love the magical way the dye flows on the silk and the way the different free flowing colours interact. The colours are dynamic, vibrant and limitless and with different processes magical effects can be achieved. Silk painting allows me to express my Aboriginal heritage in a truly unique way”.
