About the artists

Dominika is a disabled Mabuaig and Djabugandji human living on Ngunnawal lands. They’re a digital and visual artist specialising in characters and anime art but they’re also exploring textures, emotions, backgrounds and some new characters on the spiritual side that arose when they started to investigate “Home” and their memories of it.

Hannah Langford | Mothers day

Hannah is a digital artist who creates expressive and imaginative works using colour, texture, and emotion. Inspired by everyday life and personal experiences, she uses digital tools to bring her ideas to life with a modern, creative edge.

Her work often blends realism and abstract elements, aiming to spark thought and feeling. Hannah continues to explore new styles and techniques, sharing her digital art through online platforms and creative collaborations.

In this exhibition, Hannah’s artworks stem from physical drawings to drawings digitally. Each artwork expresses her feelings around home, her family and growing up without truly understanding her sense of belonging from her Wiradjuri roots and Dharug descents. These artworks portray the journey of learning about her culture and her family’s history while expressing her love for art.
