Artwork in imagery: Kelly Marie Taylor, Heal the People (SANE Australia's commissioned RAP Innovate artwork. 

Kelly Marie Taylor was born in 1978 in Port Augusta, South Australia, and belongs to the Yankunytjatjara /Kokatha people.
“My paintings are about my childhood days hunting and gathering traditional foods, playing, and rolling down beautiful red sand hills of Ernabella, Fregon, Uluru, Indulkana, Alice Springs, Coober Pedy, and Port Augusta, where we would camp surrounded by trees, sand hills and plenty of water holes to swim in, and sitting by the campfire or campsite on country, enjoying the fresh air.”
The artwork Heal the People depicts SANE Australia’s engagement with communities to discuss Closing the Gap strategy and pathways forward, incorporating meaningful elements and symbols that reflect this journey.
