Contemporary Aboriginal Art

Donna Chatfield:

Donna Chatfield lives in Warrnambool, Victoria. She is a young Aboriginal artist who uses a blend of traditional and contemporary styles to tell her stories within her artworks. 

Her piece ‘Measured Journey’, the turtle represents her life so far. She feels most of the time, her life goes around in cycles. This is shown in the circles both in the body of the turtle, and the surrounds. The turtle moves slowly and plods along, yet reaches it’s destination and goals. 

Donna is a very interesting and talented indigenous artist. I feel she is inspiring to not only indigenous Australian but also non-indigenous Australians. 
I believe her artwork is respectful to her culture but also contemporary in its delivery.
