40 years reconciliation by Joan Stratton - This artwork was completed in 2007 to represent 40 years of reconciliation in Australia. The black background white tears represent pain and suffering of aboriginal people while the blue background strip in the centre represents division and lack of acceptance or recognition prior to reconciliation. A triangle shape of 40 coloured raindrops representing 40 years of reconciliation, is the cleansing rain, colour reflects the future and as each year goes by there will be less tears. The fire represents Cleansing and new life, new beginning, in the same way fire does to our land here in Australia. The sea - Calming nurturing, forgiving, moving, and shaping each day toward a better future for all.

Welcome to Paintings By Joan - Art & Design By Joan P Stratton. I live in the tropical far north, Cape York, Queensland, Australia. My beautiful home and country is the inspiration for my art. I began my working career in Melbourne, as a trainee in graphic art, technical drawings and drafting for a mining and engineering company. With the diversity of work available to me, I gained vast experience with all manner of mediums prior to the advent of computers. In the mid '80s, as a side-line to my permanent employment, I designed and prepared artwork for record covers (Albums, Eps), promotional ads and flyers for rock bands that marketed their music independently. I see myself as a mixed media artist, I love every medium and they all...

Monte Arnold
a noble effort to represent so many aspects of what must be yet another tragedy of history. I've come to realize that there isn't a culture left that doesn't have something horrific to be embarrassed about. a great reminder for us all to be better than where we came from.
Joan Stratton replied:
Thanks Monte. I feel the most important thing is to keep trying to do better, be better, be kind, considerate, don't judge but try to understand what it is like walking in the shoes of others.
