REX WINSTON WALFORD

Rex Winston was born in 1968 in Sydney, NSW and belongs to the Kamilaroi language group. Rex was adopted by a white family at three months of age and grew up at Nyngan, a farming community in central western NSW. Rex's interest in his birth mother and aboriginal heritage was sparked when he first began painting. With the support of his adoptive parents and a government agency he was able to locate and meet his birth mother and it was only last year he also met his aboriginal father.

Rex has never had any formal art training. He is an established commercial contemporary Aboriginal artist who has undertaken numerous commissions with works being held in numerous private collections.

WATER DREAMING

This artwork belongs to the Water Dreaming series and reflects the patterns of raindrops on water. 

To Rex, rain is part of the life giving cycle of water, essential to all life. It is also about reflecting the beauty of the natural world and the simplicity of patterns in the natural world.

Rain also symbolises renewal, washing away the old, regeneration, new growth and fresh life. Many plants and animals reproduce after rain. It represents new life, hope and optimism.
