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..

Family Crest Proudly Restored

We stepped into this glorious mansion and had the pleasure of installing custom routed family crests to various parts of the residence.

Restored from a hand painted artwork our client had commissioned years earlier, we took a high resolution photo of the artwork and tweaked it a little , so we could create these beautiful Family Crests.

Family Crest

Custom made from original hand painted design

 

Mounted on the walls or hung over the beds, with routed perspex panels they adorned the family bedroom walls. There was a sense of great pride, once they were installed when you entered the rooms.

 
 

Elegant privacy screens were applied in the wet area with the addition of the family crests as well. Matched with the marvel tiles these really looked amazing.
