Serena is bringing up her young family here in balgo. Through the guidance of her parents and extended family she continues to keep tradition and culture strong. While her artworks reference her mother's country and the traditions of walking and foraging off the land, her color palette suggests her own sense of modernity. Within each beautifully executed artwork we see a mixing of past and present, tradition and contemporary that create and tell her story.
