Niketa Law with her latest artwork, a mural at St Mary’s Catholic College … in 2013, Niketa painted the cross which stands at the heart of the school’s Bunya Dreaming Garden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 12, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s a beautiful new piece of artwork gracing a wall at St Mary’s Catholic College in Kingaroy, thanks to the work of local artist Niketa Law.<\/p>\n

Niketa is not only a very talented artist – her works have been displayed at the Kingaroy Art Gallery – but she also works at St Mary’s so it was natural her talent should be on permanent show at the school.<\/p>\n

The triptych, a style often associated with religious artwork, is entitled “Our Holy Family”.<\/p>\n

The centre panel depicts Mary holding the baby Jesus.<\/p>\n

Niketa said the shapes within these figures represented how the values taught at the school permeated students’ thoughts, feelings and actions to become part of who they were.<\/p>\n

The panel on the left depicts the Holy Spirit as a dove, part of the logo for the school.<\/p>\n

On the right is the Benedictine Cross, reflecting the Benedictine values adopted as mottos by St Mary’s.<\/p>\n

“The blue lines, like sound waves, signify the importance of ‘listening with the ear of our hearts’, a true Benedictine principle,” Niketa said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The artwork was unveiled and blessed at a special ceremony during morning assembly on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Niketa’s father, Wakka Wakka elder Eric Law, did the Welcome To Country before Catholic Parish Priest Fr Chukwudi Chinaka blessed the artwork.<\/p>\n

Principal Angela Myles told the students the artwork had not been erected just to make the wall look pretty.<\/p>\n

She said it was an example of the importance of symbols.<\/p>\n

“It becomes a reminder to us about who we are as a community and what we stand for,” Mrs Myles said.<\/p>\n
