Description
Sarrita King has spent most of her youth in Darwin, where her Mother still resides. Today Sarrita lives in Adelaide and spends much of her time painting along side her sister Tarisse.
Sarrita’s inspiration is the amazing environment she grew up surrounded by in the Northern Territory, from the big rains to the lightning storms and the constantly changing earth. Sarrita reflects on much of her experiences with family members, especially her father who taught her about her Aboriginal heritage and the connection to our world in general.
The Water series of paintings have been inspired by the different water found throughout Australia, these paintings seek to capture the movement and the colours of this life-giving element. Sarrita listened to her father explain the importance of water to the Aboriginal culture and all human kind. Sarrita feels the elements are a connection to her father and the world around her.
