Saretta Fielding Art and Design
/Our team were fortunate to work again with Saretta Fielding Art & Design
Working with John and Saretta is always a treat and this time we were lucky enough to supply and install some of her artwork at the UAA buildings in Newcastle and Biraban Primary School.
UAA interior privacy screens
We installed privacy screens in both of the offices for UAA. One using Hexis printable etch and the other on normal vinyl. They made such a difference to the room, bright, bold colours filled the walkways and created a feeling of warmth.
Biraban Primary School
At the school we installed these brilliant artworks on the bottom glass panels at the entrance of the school rooms. Not great on the knees but totally worth it once you look back and see these artworks filling the surroundings.
At the front entrance as you walk in, you are also greeted with another one of Saretta’s artworks. Once again the beautiful colours are so pleasing as you walk in and make it such a welcoming environment.
Saretta Fielding, Profile
Saretta Fielding, is a Wonnarua woman of the Upper Hunter Valley through her grandmother and an Anaiwan women of the New England area through her grandfather.
The land of the Wonnarua is located in the Hunter Valley of NSW and stretches from the Liverpool ranges in the north to Wollombi in the south and east from Sandy Hollow and Merriwa, across to the western fringes of the Barrington tops.
She has lived in NSW all her life and has strong connections across country, holding strong family and community ties throughout the state. Her connections link into Worimi, Awabakal and Darkinjung tribal groups, as she lives and works closely across our communities over many years. Saretta has also worked across the State and Nationally both in Aboriginal Not for Profits .
Her love of culture, country and community are reflected within her work. Saretta’s passion is to share her unique and invaluable culture through authentic, engaging and thought evoking fine artwork and visual design that welcomes all and enhances connection to spirit and country.
“Building connections to create initiatives in the arts that contribute to closing the gap is a high value for me. I have been involved in reconciliation since it’s inception through Reconciliation Australia and see the ongoing benefit RAP brings as we share and gain understanding together.
My artworks are reflective in style to many traditional sand engravings found throughout Wonnarua country and the Hunter Region and are connected to country in style and design through the use of a sand based medium and engraving technique. The highly textured pieces embody the age-old sandstone engraved artworks created by our ancestors and add a unique dimension to the works..”
