Shine, Rachel Cross

In a world with so much noise, says Dunghutti artist Rachel Cross, don’t be afraid to let your spark shine.

Rachel Cross’ signature artwork for Light Changes Everything fully embraces the Luminance theme.

In a world with so much noise, she says, don’t be afraid to let your spark shine.

Rachel is a Dunghutti artist whose work is deeply inspired by her surroundings.

Growing up in the bush at Telegraph Point and now living by the beach in Port Macquarie, Rachel draws from both landscapes to create her art.

Her contemporary style of Aboriginal art explores childhood memories and life journeys, blending tradition with a modern perspective.

Rachel’s love for colour and intricate patterns shines through in her work, making her artistic style truly unique.

Light Changes Everything is at Luminance Gallery Port Macquarie from 2 May to 30 May 2025. The exhibition includes two paintings by Rachel Cross. They are: Shine, acrylic on canvas, 91cm x 61cm; and Shallows, acrylic on canvas, 91cm x 61cm.
