Overview

This painting tells the story of everyone surviving and coming out of lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic. The painting captures the joy of everyone happy to see each other again, to reconnect with family and getting outside your 5km radius. The overall design represents our families and community. The colours and butterfly represent happiness and relief, and freedom felt when restrictions eased.

Heather Kennedy is a Trawalway Plermiernier Bunurong artist from Victoria who combines traditional and contemporary art styles. Her work is inspired by stories, life’s journeys and memories of what has been passed to her from her elders, children and grandchildren.
