The Inspiration Behind Saretta’s Art

The Inspiration Behind Saretta’s Art

Every brushstroke holds a story, and every design carries with it a connection to Country, culture, and community. At Saretta Art & Design, our artworks are more than just beautiful pieces, they are expressions of identity, heritage, and storytelling.

🌿 Connection to Country

As a proud Wonnarua woman, Saretta draws deeply from her connection to Country. The natural environment, its colours, textures, and rhythms is a constant source of inspiration. Ochre tones reflect the earth beneath our feet, while flowing linework often mirrors the pathways of rivers, journeys, and connections between people.

You’ll see this influence in Saretta’s Original Sand Textured Paintings, where raised designs bring Country to life in a way that is both tactile and visually striking.

✨ Stories Through Symbols

Aboriginal art is a powerful form of communication. Each painting holds layered meaning, with symbols and patterns representing people, meeting places, movement, and stories passed down through generations. These stories are shared visually, inviting the viewer to connect and interpret them in their own way.

For example, the Cushion Collection translates traditional symbolism into contemporary home décor. Every cushion tells a cultural story while adding warmth and colour to living spaces.

🎨 Inspiration in Everyday Life

From the rolling hills of the Hunter Valley NSW to the gatherings of family and community, Saretta’s inspiration is both personal and universal. Her work speaks to belonging, resilience, and celebration, bridging the traditional with the contemporary.

The Wearable Art Collection allows these inspirations to travel beyond the canvas. Each scarf and kaftan carries cultural stories into the everyday, wearable pieces of art that honour tradition while fitting beautifully into modern life.

🖤 Bringing Culture into Homes

Through Saretta’s artworks, homewares, and fashion collections, cultural stories are woven into everyday life. Each piece allows people to not only enjoy beautiful design but to share in the deeper meaning behind it.

From Wall Art Prints that bring warmth and storytelling to your home, to Table Runners that turn family meals into cultural gatherings, every product carries a connection to Country and community.
