Invasion day 2026 Dawn Reflection by Garry Purchase.
First Nations at first light
Barabiyanga. In the words of the ancient Eora people, these are the precious moments before the first rays of light paint the shores of our island home.
Dawn Reflection invites all of us into a quiet pause. A time to recall our country’s unfolding story – told in many voices across countless generations.
Garry Purchase is a proud Aboriginal man of Dharawal, Bidjigal and Dhungutti descent, raised in Botany and amongst the strong Aboriginal community of La Perouse in Sydney. Hailing from the renowned Timbery family, with ancestors such as “Queen” Emma Timbery and Esme Timbery, whose shell work is internationally recognised, as well as Laddie and Joe Timbery both known for their boomerang knowledge and skills. Culture, creativity and storytelling have always been part of his identity.
Before painting, Garry was a musician. When he moved to the Central Coast in 2013, he began painting as a new way to express himself. His work is a modern interpretation of traditional Aboriginal art, grounded in culture but driven by personal experience and contemporary social issues. He uses art to tell stories that are honest, sometimes confronting, and deeply connected to identity, resilience and community. Pushing boundaries within Aboriginal art is important to him — he paints from lived experience, not expectation.
His work has been recognised through multiple awards, including the Tony Donovan Award at the Reconciliation Exhibition in 2014 and 2016, several Aboriginal Health awards, and most recently the People’s Choice Award at the Gosford Art Prize 2024. He has also shared his journey on ABC Television, appearing as a guest on Play School and as an artist in the inaugural season of Portrait Artist of the Year.
