Hi all ive just finished reviving a old camphour laurel tree into a 11 ft dugout canoe ,over the last 5 mths i have worked with a group of 12 boys n 2 men to bring this piece of Djungutti culture to life ,sadly in the 4th week of building this canoe we lost one of our little paddlers his name was Charlie age 13 yrs ( my oldest sisters g/son ) so to honor charlie the boys n myself decicided to call the traditional dugout Charlie , lots of tears and hard work of chippin and cuttin away at this old tree to finally have the finished traditional canoe ,the boys learnt to respect the tree and to follow the what there eyes could see ,, so myself and Charlie went to Canberra to support Mr Rudd as the votes were being done i was paddling Charlie across Lake Burleigh Griffin it was a great privilage to do so for there has never been a Traditional Canoe paddled across the lake before ,This was to be the start of a 21 day journey for me and Charlie to travel around Australia to show that culture is still alive inside us all ,,I will Keep Updates of my Journey on my website for all to see and watch Barllu Gurri

When asked to represent Mr John ‘Gurri’ Kelly within his field of traditional and contemporary Australian Aboriginal art, I did not hesitate. His work has a quality and appeal that surpasses other artists. If art is a representation of our soul’s message, then John’s story is one of strength, unity in diversity and honourability to our past relations and the future generations.

John is a dedicated family man which shows in his work. His pieces echo the wisdom of the ancestors, transcending words, gender and creed.

John’s work offers visual comfort from within its continuation of existence. Movement within lines, brings an openness and depth, rarely experienced within any art form.

John has gained a high reputation and position of respect amongst his peers and holds an impressive record of exhibits. Appreciated by his countries government, John is fully committed to the movement.

For a mature, intelligent and ethical art work purchase, either to start your own collection, to add integrity to your current personal collection or as a financial investment, I highly recommend making your selection from a hand-crafted John Kelly master piece.

Not only are you purchasing world art at its finest but you are also continuing to pass on the strong, rich message of passion in life, courage in prevailing times and the celebration of togetherness.

Amanda Louise.
