Photo Credit: Robin McTaggart As the sun sets over the iconic rock formation that holds so much significance to our nation, the magical, fleeting moment of twilight transforms the landscape into a reflection of the flag that represents the first owners of the land. The sky darkens to reflect the beautiful skin of the people, the result of generations bathed in Australian sunshine. The red of the earth represents the land that is their home - the land that has seen so much violence over it's ownership, of which we look back on with shame and regret on behalf of our ancestors, and which is now so generously shared. In the centre of the landscape, Uluru stands awash in the last of the golden light before the sun disappears behind the flat Australian plain. Reflecting the yellow ring in the flag's centre, this breathtaking landmark shines with the sun which it represents, throwing it's light over the land below to complete the circulature shape. This same sun - the very centre of the flag - gives light and life to the land. It rises and sets over the entire nation. The same sun, over generations of our ancestors and theirs, has faithfully provided for the plants and animals and people of the land. It continues to bring warmth during the day, to light the way for the Indigenous people hunting and foraging, to us tending our gardens or mustering our cattle or playing a simple game of backyard cricket....

Hello! My name is Elizabeth Kate Cooper (AKA Lizzie), and my passion as a Christian artist is to create works that celebrate the beauty and complexity of the beautiful fauna and flora of God's incredible creation. As an Australian artist, most of my work boasts the beauty of Australian sceneries (particularly in the Central Queensland area), as well as the unique animals, birds and flowers of this incredible country. I love working with a pallet knife to recreate the energy and flow of stunning landscapes on my larger acrylic on canvas works, as well as sitting down to the finer details of character and specific features in my floral works and animal portraits. I started out my career as an allied health professional, having the privilege of working with a wonderful, dedicated team in a regional hospital for a number of years. In November 2020, our precious daughter was born prematurely, and we lost her three weeks later. Painting was one of the ways I managed to stay focused on the beauty there still was in the world around me, despite the fact that our little angel was no longer with us. Though our beautiful little Anna will never be far from my heart, God has bought so much good through her short life, including the opportunity for me to launch my career as an artist. I believe art really is a God-given gift to bring so much healing, as we allow our soul the space to breathe and express our deepest emotions. As such, I so value the opportunity to bring joy, peace and awe into the homes of my collectors through my works, as well as share the experience of creative expression in my classes.
