"My name is Mitch Mahoney, I am a proud Boonwurrung man with connections to Barkindji people through my father. I was born in north-west Victoria along the Murray River; hot, dry country that is thick with bush."

"I am a young Aboriginal artist with great pride and passion for our people and their future and would like to see us teaching people about the value of wrking with the land rather than againbst it. Hopefully I can teach people along the way with my art, my work is a part of me; my joy, my pain, my hardship and my thinking. Every detail is being true to myself telling a story of life."
