Saretta Art & Design

I am a contemporary Aboriginal artist with a love for my culture and community. Stories from Wonaruah, Awabakal and Worimi using my textured medium.

Saretta Fielding is a Wonaruah woman and was born in Sydney to an Aboriginal father of the Wonaruah people and a European mother. Saretta has enjoyed the benefit of growing up within a large and close knit extended family and much of her work is influenced by family connection and relationships. Saretta considers Lake Macquarie her home and is greatly influenced by the beauty of this country in her Artwork.

Growing up alongside Lake Macquarie, surrounded by the bush lands of the Watigan Mountains and the wonderful beaches of our coastline has given Saretta the best nature has to offer.

"I have always painted, drawn and experimented in a variety of art mediums, as art has long been a passion for me. I love the challenge of conveying to others, through art, how I am influenced by people, life experiences and natures beauty. "

Reflective in style to many traditional engraved artworks found throughout the Hunter Region and Wonaruah country, my artworks are connected to country in style and design through the use of a sand based medium. The highly textured pieces embody the age old sandstone engraved artworks created by our ancestors and add a whole new dimension to the works.

Saretta's artwork aims to evoke emotion, enhance connection to spirit and country, and invite the viewer to ponder, dig deeper and experience something new.
