Please join us as we launch our next exhibition at the Melaleuca Gallery

A Tapestry of Country is a personal interpretation of cultural identity, shaped by Aboriginal traditions and expressed through abstraction. Painted in acrylic on canvas, these works reflect the coastline Tracey calls home: the vibrant blue waters, the sandy beaches, and the rich, colourful native landscape beyond the shore.

For Tracey, family and Country cannot be separated. Each is a source of belonging, story, and strength, and each shape who she is. Through layered colour and flowing abstract forms, these paintings honour that deep connection and offer a contemporary way of seeing and sharing it.

The exhibition will run from Saturday 17th of October 2026 to Saturday 5th December 2026

Gallery Opening Hours:
Wednesday - Friday 10am - 2pm
Saturday 9am - 12pm (Melaleuca coffee shop open)
Some dates may be closed due to private events. Please check the Melaleuca Gallery page on the Worrowing website for updates.

About Tracey
I am a Dharawal/Yuin woman with strong ancestral and ongoing connections to the Shoalhaven region. As a direct descendant, I draw from a rich cultural heritage shaped by the coastal traditions of my ancestors, who travelled throughout the South Coast. I also have family ties to both Gomeroi and Wonnarua Nations.

I am a wife and proud mother of three beautiful children, living on the South Coast of NSW.

With 30 years' experience as a primary school teacher, I began creating art as a meaningful way to nurture my wellbeing. My artwork—rooted in both Aboriginal traditions and abstract styles—is a personal interpretation of my cultural identity and deep connection to Country. It reflects the natural beauty of my coastal environment, the vibrant blue waters and sandy beaches, alongside the rich, colourful native landscape.
