About The Artist:

Artist Jamie Davidson, a proud Ngarabul woman from the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales and now living on Bunurong Country in Victoria, created CM Group’s First Nations artwork to symbolise CM Solutions, CM Products and CM Institute, and the way these three businesses work together as part of CM Group.

About the art:

This commissioned piece, Ripple Effect, speaks to the importance of education and upskilling, pathways that businesses like CM Group help facilitate. A single shift in direction can transform a life but it always starts as a small ripple.

CM Group acknowledges the traditional custodians throughout Australia and their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to all First Nations people, their culture and to Elders past and present.
