Our landscape is beautiful and bold,
our songs of the dreaming

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.”
