This exhibition for September/October 2012 is called "Kalkadoon" and will reflect Chern'ee Sutton's people's proud history and Indigenous culture and also reflect her recent walk through Kalkadoon Country and the sights she saw and stories that were told.
Chern'ee will also be having her souvenir products for sale at the exhibition and a percentage of sales from these products is being donated to the Kalkadoon Community in Mt. Isa, Queensland to help open a cultural centre there.
Chern'ee is proud to be a contemporary Indigenous artist and her Indigenous heritage is very important to her. She likes to tell a story whether old or new within her paintings and share her culture, history and stories with the world. She mostly paints on canvas using acrylic and textured paint.
Some of her achievements include:
1st Place - Yoonellgoo Indigenous art competition 2010
1st Place - Captain Cook 1770 art festival 2012
