Spirit of the Plains// Nyree Reynolds
The young Wiradjuri woman reflects on the sunset at the end of her day. She is in her own Country where she feels nurtured and loved.
She has gathered food for the evening for her and her family and all feels right with her world.
Her Country is around the Condobolin region in the Central West of NSW.
The Central West is my Belonging Country. It is where I live, in the Country of the Wiradjuri people. My people.

Nyree (Ngari) Reynolds (b. 1948) is a Wiradjuri artist and art tutor based in Blayney in the Central West region of NSW. Nyree’s paintings have been sold all over Australia and overseas, including private collections in England, USA, Hong Kong, Switzerland and Germany. In describing her body of work, Nyree explains: As an Aboriginal woman of the Wiradjuri Nation I like to tell stories through my paintings. As part of my art practice I paint the Aboriginal children of the Stolen Generations blending into the landscape, their own Country from which they were removed. My hope is that when people view my work they will leave with a new understanding of people who have been taken away from their family, home and Country. That they are real people with real stories to be told. Then I know my painting narratives have achieved what I hoped they would.
