My design features a picture of a Wattle Tree flower (Wartngarli).

The Wattle flower represents my clan group name, Wartngarli-Ngorngor, which comes from my father’s side.

Biography:

Barbara is the fourth child of nine children, and has lived in Derby and Mowanjum most of her life. Her mother is Brejalnga clan and her father is from the Warrtngarlingorngor clan and they are of the Ngarinyin language group. Barbara is related to the Morlumbun and Charles families from her mother's side, and the Nenowatt and Ngerdus families from her father's side. Further, Barbara has extended family in Mowanjum through marriage.

Barbara's work is unique within the Art Centre. Her colour palette, defined shapes and decorative detailing, sees her work reveal a distinctive graphic look. Though contemporary in her approach her work is always informed by the traditional stories learnt from her elders as a child.
