OPH artwork picture tells a beautiful story of parenthood

The WNHS obstetric unit at Osborne Park Hospital were the proud recipients of an incredible donation made by local aboriginal educator, facilitator and artist Rhys Paddick.

The moving artwork is titled ‘Djirip Djirip Koolangaar’ translated into ‘Very happy child’ and will brighten the walls of the obstetric unit, giving women a happy, and heartfelt piece of art to admire.

Rhy, a proud Wudjuk Noongar country man, graduated the Academy of Performing Arts (Aboriginal Theatre) and has developed a keen interest for storytelling on stage.

His ‘Very happy child’ piece certainly does a wonderful job of storytelling to our women and their families about the strength of connection, love and culture.

A huge thank you to Rhys for his kind donation, we feel privileged to receive such a stunning piece of art.
