Swimming Hole mothers day 2021

Swimming Hole mothers day 2021Hand painted by Ryhia Dank AKA NARDURNA Story: On a family cattle station, there is a place I will call "Swimming Hole." We would camp there, swim, and eat freshwater crayfish called "Mudjica" in my language. Spending time there with my cousins and siblings always felt special. We would laugh endlessly, mucking around in the water, and have so much fun. These memories, so personal and real, hold a special place in my heart. This hand framed acrylic on
