Indigenous artist Rheanna Lotter has collaborated with Specsavers to empower communities to prioritise eye care, and prove that art can bridge cultural gaps Thu 11 Nov 2021 15.02 AEDT Rheanna Lotter is no stranger to the transformative power of art. A proud Yuin woman who grew up in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, she once aspired to be a professional athlete.
