Cara Shields says she is honoured that her artwork is on display in Bristol alongside that of Utopian artist Barbara Weir.
Her father's lead pencil drawing of a kangaroo and emu was all it took to spark a life-long love of art for Wiradjuri artist Cara Shields. "It was a kangaroo and it had an emu and he kind of drew it into its leg and I just thought it was the most deadliest thing I'd ever seen because it was like two animals and it just went so well.
" Shields said it's surreal to have her art on display in the UK as part of the country's first Aboriginal-owned art gallery, Coe Gallery. "I'm very proud to be over there and 's always exhibiting my art so beautifully," Shields said. Coe Gallery founder and Wiradjuri-British artist, Jasmine Coe, said "It's been a joy to see Shields' work develop" over the years the gallery has shown her pieces.
