A NAIDOC Youth Art Exhibition has arrived in Emerald to showcase works by young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.
The exhibit celebrates the talent and cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists aged 12 to 24.
Many of these young Queenslanders are sharing their artwork publicly for the first time through the travelling art exhibit.
The youngest is 12-year-old Ernestine Hankin — a Torres Strait Islander artist with family connection to Mer and Iama Iand — who enjoys using her imagination to tell stories through art.
“When I was told I would be participating in the exhibition and meeting other artists, I was nervous, but it was very fun,” Miss Hankin said.
