Rodney Young

Casual has been a Youth Worker for many years and has always been actively involved in the community. He has led the artistic vision for the art-adorned fence and community garden project at Echuca Neighbourhood House, coordinated the Echuca Hip Hop program for Njernda, and painted the backdrop for the Wollithica Yenbeea Youth Dance Group concert. Casual works with a variety of mediums, including wood carving, sculpture, painting on canvas, and music. As a singer/songwriter and the author of hundreds of compositions, he is never short of creative inspiration. Over the years, he has run open mic nights, performed at numerous venues, and continues to do so. His background also plays a significant role in shaping his work. The vivid representations of nature are a constant in his pieces, reflecting his deep respect and affection for the land and its people.
