Burst of Spring
Springtime is a beautiful blending of colours in our country. After the rain all the wild flowers come up in a pattern like a puzzle. The artist often sponges her background using colours which include red, pink, yellow’s and orange. She painted over this background with her own unique style and bright colours. As in much aborigional art, the artist has represented her country from an aerial perspective.

Mt Florence stockyard
My Grandfather as a young man used to work on a station in a stockyard breaking in horses and bringing in cattle and sheep to the yard.After finishing this painting although being simple from my other design’s I was very happy to have thought of it because now I can say that I have done a painting with my loving Grandfather in mind.

Moa Island Style – Earrings
Moa Arts (Ngalmun Lagau Minaral) is an Indigenous-owned and operated art centre on Mua Island in the Torres Strait western cluster of islands. One of the primary aims of the art centre is to keep Muglal traditions of Zenadth Kes arts and culture strong for everyone through the production and sale of art.
The reputation of Moa Arts is built on the calibre of its limited edition lino-prints, etchings, weavings and island-style jewellery. Creative inspiration for these works comes from Mualgal ancestral stories, totemic representation and connections to sea, land, sky and family. Mua’s artists don’t have to look far to be inspired. The island and its surrounding waters and reefs hold a diverse set of land and marine ecosystems with niches for many rare and unique species such as dugong and sea turtle.
Art Centre notes:
These earrings are made from glass beads and fishing line following traditional colour palettes. The findings are sterling silver.
