Greeting cards Waralungku Arts – Margaret Allwood

“The Kangaroo’s boundless joy makes me often wonder why?
That God’s creation could gather speed, then flees, just by moving swiftly by
on bended knees!!”

Name: Margaret Mingandu Allwood


Language: Yanyuwa


Community: Borroloola


Biography:

Margaret (Gret) grew up in the Barkley Tablelands, where her Yanyuwa grandmother was a traditional owner for the country that the town occupies. Gret started painting at an early age - she paints plants and animals from the Gulf region and also writes poetry.

“I’ve always painted as a hobby even when I was a small child I enjoyed  sketching and painting. I never realized that people admired my work until  they started requesting me to do a painting for them. Now I paint at the Waralungku Art Centre."

I was asked to do the NT Coat Of Arms for the new Borroloola Court House. I was very proud and honoured to do so.”
