What began as a way to preserve memories and explore her grief has blossomed into a thriving art career for Ceduna artist Jaylene Ware, joining the ranks of artists from a town known for its distinctive creative scene.
When Ceduna artist Jaylene Ware lost her father, the onslaught of grief brought with it a decision — numb the pain, or find an outlet for the stories, memories, and feelings provoked by loss.
It is allowing Ms Ware, who has Wirangu, Kokatha, and Antakirinja Matu-Yankunytjatjara heritage, to bring attention to life in Ceduna. Wirangu, Kokatha, Mirning, Maralinga Tjarutja, and Yalata people share a native title claim covering the far west coast of SA up to the Western Australian border. Up to 130 artists are currently represented by the Ceduna gallery with numerous independent artists also working in the community.
"Art centres help support artists to be safe and secure, and they sell work that's been created ethically," she said.A new $6 million arts and cultural centre is currently under construction on Ceduna's foreshore.
